The CLASS project, based in the Chilean Andes and led by Johns Hopkins University, has created detailed maps of 75% of the sky to probe the universe’s early stages. Through advanced microwave polarization analysis, the team aims to clarify the cosmic microwave background and enhance understanding of the universe’s evolution, setting new standards for future cosmic observations.
“By studying the polarization of the cosmic microwave background, astrophysicists can infer what the universe must have been like at earlier times,” said Tobias Marriage, a Johns Hopkins professor of physics and astronomy who co-leads the team. “Astrophysicists can go back to very, very early times — the initial conditions, the very first moments where matter in the universe and the distribution of energy was first put in place — and can connect all that to what we see today.
The research paves the way for more detailed observations with ground-based telescopes that allow for ongoing instrumentation improvements, unlike space missions. The CLASS observatory implemented new technologies, including smooth-walled feeds to guide radiation from space onto detectors, custom-designed detectors, and new polarization modulators.
