Cosmology large angular scale surveyor

  • The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is the cooled remnant of the first light that could ever travel freely throughout the Universe.
    This 'fossil' radiation, the furthest that any telescope can see, was released soon after the 'Big Bang'.
    Scientists consider it as an echo or 'shockwave' of the Big Bang.
The Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) is an experiment to measure the signature of a gravita-tional-wave background from inflation in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB).
The Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) is a four telescope array designed to characterize relic primordial gravitational waves from inflation and the optical depth to reionization through a measurement of the polarized cosmic microwave background (CMB) on the largest angular scales.

Science goals

CLASS has two primary science goals. The first is to test the theory of inflation. In physical cosmology

Instrument

The CLASS instrument is designed to survey 65% of the sky at millimeter wavelengths, in the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum

Current status and results

CLASS is currently observing the sky in all four frequency bands
