It is broadly accepted that CO is a reliable tracer of molecular H in massive IR ($L_{\rm IR}\ \ge\ 10^9\ L_{\odot}$) galaxies, and that there are clear correlations between $L_{\rm IR}$ and $L'_{\rm CO}$ that are qualitatively independent of environment and even redshift. We present two tales on the search for $^{12}$CO emission from dusty star-forming galaxies in both field (Lockman Hole, z...
There are several new projects to survey the sky with millimetre eyes, the biggest being Simons Observatory and CMB-S4, in the Southern Hemisphere. The NIKA2 collaboration has acquired a knowledge sufficient to build a large focal plane KID camera for a 15-m antenna. This would allow covering the whole Northern Hemisphere in a couple of years at subarcminute resolution and with milliJansky...
CONCERTO (CarbON CII line in post-rEionization and ReionizaTiOn) is a low-resolution spectrometer with an instantaneous field-of-view of 18.6 arcmin, operating in the 130–310 GHz transparent atmospheric window. It is installed on the 12-meter Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) telescope at 5 100 m above sea level.
The Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) contains two focal planes hosting a...
The leading theory to understand the initial conditions of the Big Bang is inflation, which predicts the existence of a primordial background of gravitational waves that must have left its imprint in the CMB polarization: the so-called B-modes. The main difficulty in measuring the B-mode polarization comes not just from its sheer faintness, but from the fact that many other objects in the...
