abstract

We study a strategy to determine miscalibrated polarization angles of cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments using the observed $EB$ polarization power spectra of CMB and Galactic foreground emission. We apply the methodology of Minami et al.(2019) developed for full-sky observations to ground-based experiments such as Simons Observatory. We take into account the $E$-to-$B$ leakage and $\ell$-to-$\ell$ covariance due to partial sky coverage using the public code NaMaster. We show that our method yields an unbiased estimate of miscalibrated angles. Our method also enables simultaneous determination of miscalibrated angles and the intrinsic $EB$ power spectrum of polarized dust emission when the latter is proportional to $\sqrt{C_\ell^{EE}C_\ell^{BB}}$ and $C_\ell^{BB}$ is proportional to $C_\ell^{EE}$.

  1. Cosmic birefringence from a joint analysis of ACT and Planck

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A joint analysis of Planck and ACT CMB polarization finds a nonzero cosmic birefringence angle of 0.277° ± 0.057°, at 4.8σ, with systematics still to be understood.
