  4. OLIMPO • Is the combination of • A large (2.6m diameter) mm/sub-mm telescope with scanning capabilities • A multifrequency array of bolometers • A precision attitude control system • A long duration balloon flight • The results will be high resolution (arcmin) sensitive maps of the mm/sub-mm sky, with optimal frequency coverage (150, 220, 340, 540 GHz) for SZ detection, Determination of Cluster parameters and control of foreground/background contamination.

  7. Olimpo: list of Science Goals • Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect • Measurement of Ho from rich clusters • Cluster counts and detection of early clusters -> parameters (L) • Distant Galaxies – Far IR background • Anisotropy of the FIRB • Cosmic star formation history • CMB anisotropy at high multipoles • The damping tail in the power spectrum • Complement interferometers at high frequency • Cold dust in the ISM • Pre-stellar objects • Temperature of the Cirrus / Diffuse component

  8. OLIMPO observations of a SZ Cluster • Simulated observation of a SZ cluster at 2 mm with the Olimpo array. • The large scale signals are CMB anisotropy. • The cluster is the dark spot evident in the middle of the figure. • Parameters of this observation: scans at 1o/s, amplitude of the scans 3op-p, detector noise 150 mK s1/2, 1/f knee = 0.1 Hz, total observing time = 4 hours, comptonization parameter for the cluster y=10-4. 3o 3o

  9. The peculiarity of OLIMPO • OLIMPO measures in 4 frequency bands simultaneously. These bands optimally sample the spectrum of the SZ effect. • This allows us to clean the signal from any dust and CMB contamination, and even to measure Te by means of the relativistic corrections.

  10. Simulations show that: • For a • Y=10-5 cluster, • in a dust optical depth of 10-5 @ 1 mm, • In presence of a 100 mK CMB anisotropy • In 2 hours of integration over 1 square degree of sky centered on the cluster • Y can be determined to +10-6, • DTCMB can be measured to +10mK • Te can be measured to +3keV • ask Luca Conversi for details.

  12. Corrections • For each cluster, applying deprojection algorithms to the SZ and X images (see eg Zaroubi et al. 1999), and assuming hydrostatic equilibrium, it is possible to derive the gas profile and the total (including dark) mass of the cluster. • The presence of 4 channels (and especially the 1.3 mm one) is used to estimate the peculiar velocity of the cluster. • Both these effects have be monitored in order to correct the determination of Ho (see e.g. Holtzapfel et al. 1997). • It should be stressed that residual systematics, i.e. cluster morphology and small-scale clumping, have opposite effects in the determination of Ho • Despite the relative large scatter of results for a single cluster, we expect to be able to measure Ho to 5% accuracy from our 40 clusters sample.

  13. Olimpo vs XMM • The XMM-LSS and MEGACAM survey region is centered at dec=-5 deg and RA=2h20', and covers 8ox8o. It is observable in a trans-mediterranean flight, like the one we will do to qualify OLIMPO. • During the test flight we will observe the target region for 2 hours at good elevation, without interference from the moon and the sun. • Assuming 19 detectors working for each frequency channel, and a conservative noise of 150mKCMBs1/2, we can have as many as 5600 independent 8' pixels with a noise per pixel of7 mKCMBfor each of the 2 and 1.4 mm bands. • The correlations could provide: • Relative behavior of clusters (Dark Matter) potential, galaxies and clusters X-ray gas. • Detailed tests of structure formation models. • Cosmological parameters and structure formation

  14. Olimpo: CMB anisotropy Power Spectrum (a.u.) • Taking advantage of its high angular resolution, and concentrating on a limited area of the sky, OLIMPO will be able to measure the angular power spectrum (PS) of the CMB up to multipolesl»3000, significantly higher than BOOMERanG, MAP and Planck. • In this way it will complement at high frequencies the interferometers surveys, producing essential independent information, in a wide frequency interval, and free from systematics like sources subtraction. • The measurement of the damping tailof the PS is an excellent way to map the dark matter distribution (4) and to measureWdarkmatter(5). Compare! Power Spectrum (a.u.)

  15. mm/sub-mm backgrounds • Diffuse cosmological emission in the mm/sub-mm is largely unexplored. • A cosmic far IR background (FIRB) has been discovered by COBE-FIRAS (Puget, Hauser, Fixsen) • It is believed to be produced by ultra-luminous early galaxies • (Blain astroph/0202228) • Strong, negative k-correction at mm and sub-mm wavelengths enhances the detection rate of these early galaxies at high redshift.

  16. mm/sub-mm galaxies • In the sub-mm we are in the steeply rising part of the emission spectrum: if the galaxy is moved at high redshift we will see emission from a rest-frame wavelength closer to the peak of emission. z = 0 z > 0 B B n n no n o(1+z) Blain, astro-ph/0202228

  17. Olimpo: Cold Cirrus Dust • Sub-mm observations of cirrus clouds in our Galaxy are very effective in measuring the temperature and mass of the dust clouds. • See Masi et al. Ap.J. 553, L93-L96, 2001; and Masi et al. “Interstellar dust in the BOOMERanG maps”, in “BC2K1”, De Petris and Gervasi editors, AIP 616, 2001.

  19. Olimpo: The Payload The inner frame can point from 0o to 60o of elevation.

  20. Olimpo: The Primary mirror • The primary mirror (2.6m) has been built and verified. • It is the largest mirror ever flown on a stratospheric balloon. • It is slowly wobbled to scan the sky.

  21. Olimpo: technical solutions • The dewar is being developed in Rome. It is based on the same successfull design of the BOOMERanG dewar (6,7) • Ask Lavinia Nati / Martino Calvo for details.

  22. Olimpo: reimaging optics • The cryogenic reimaging optics is being developed in Rome. • It is mounted in the experiment section of the cryostat, at 2K, while the bolometers are cooled at 0.3K. • Extensive baffling and a cold Lyot stop reduce significantly straylight and sidelobes.

  23. Olimpo: detectors 150 mm • The Cardiff group has agreed to provide bolometer arrays and dichroics for the multiband focal plane. • We will mount 4 arrays at 2.0, 1.4, 0.85, 0.50 mm of central wavelength, with 19, 37, 91, 293 detectors respectively. Each array will fill the optically correct area of the focal plane (about 0.5o in diameter projected in the sky). A photo of a micromachined array element and a photo of a typical full wafer are visible in the figures. • TES (transition edge superconductors) at 300 mK will sense the temperature variations of a small island in the Silicon Nitride wafer; radiative power sampled by a planar antenna will be transferred to the island by means of superconducting striplines.

  26. Current situation: After a few years of low level funding, ASI has finally classified OLIMPO as a new project 2 years ago, and has frozen funding. We are working hard to have it flown in 2005 for the test flight. We are also working to develop LDB flightts from SVALBARD
