Venue
Nordita, Stockholm, Sweden
Scope
Current and future astronomical experiments face unprecedented challenges in their calibration, systematics and modelling, as well as the interplay between them. The Cosmoglobe initiative aims to tackle these challenges head on, using the power of Bayesian end-to-end iterative analysis. By combining datasets from the radio, millimeter, infrared, visible, and all the way to the UV and X-ray ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum, we can jointly constrain cosmological parameters such as the tensor-to-scalar ratio, the optical depth to reionization, cosmic birefringence, the Cosmic Infrared Background and the structure of emissions from our own Galaxy. This workshop aims to bring together experts from across many domains of astronomy to discuss and contribute to the development of this common framework and the results it will produce.
Themes and preliminary program schedule
A detailed scientific schedule will be announced after registration and speaker selection.
Week 1 | Aug 31 - Sep 4 | CMB frequencies workshop
- Tensor-to-scalar ratio / The microwave sky / Systematics mitigation
- E.g. HFI, LiteBIRD, SO, and related experiments
- Around 2 hours of presentations per day with lots of time allocated for discussions and active work sessions
- Lunch and coffee will be provided
Week 2 | Sep 7 - Sep 11 | Cosmoglobe conference 2026
The topic of the conference is large scale science and data analysis across the entire spectrum. We therefore welcome and encourage conference contributions from anyone whose work fits into this broad category, irregardless of whether you are already working directly with the Cosmoglobe team.
- Global end-to-end analysis at all frequencies from radio to UV and X-ray
- E.g. SKA and precursors, HFI, LiteBIRD, SO, C-BASS, QUIJOTE, DIRBE, AKARI, FIRAS, IRAS, Fermi, eROSITA, etc.
- Submitted and invited talks on all things related to global sky modelling
- Lunch and coffee and a conference dinner (tentatively Sept. 8th) will be provided
- We welcome contributions from early career researchers!
Week 3 | Sep 14 - Sep 18 | Infrared frequencies workshop
- Infrared dust modelling / Spectral distortions / interferometry
- E.g. DIRBE, AKARI, FIRAS, IRAS, and related experiments
- Around 2 hours of presentations per day with lots of time allocated for discussions and active work sessions
- Lunch and coffee will be provided
