Session 62 - Workshop on the Future of Antarctic Astrophysics - II.
Topical, Oral session, Wednesday, June 10
Presidio,
The cosmic microwave background radiation is expected to be slightly polarized, with variations on a variety of angular scales. Measuring this polarization will complement planned temperature-anisotropy observations. Detector technology has advanced to the point where such polarization measurements are feasible; the case for making these observations from Antarctica will be discussed.
