Cosmology: Cosmic Microwave Background

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides scientists an unprecedented glimpse into the nature of fundamental physical processes that have governed the origin and evolution of the universe since the dawn of time itself.

CCA is a hub of exploration into the universe’s earliest moments. By studying the CMB, a relic of the universe’s birth, CCA researchers delve into fundamental physical processes that have shaped our cosmos over eons.

Researchers at CCA work on multiple CMB projects including Planck, Atacama Cosmology Telescope and Simons Observatory.

In particular, researchers at CCA lead data reduction pipeline at the Simons Observatory and performed pivotal analyses on all of these CMB projects.
