Abstract:
Simulations and observations of the microwave sky are of great importance for under- standing the Universe that we reside in. Specifically, knowledge of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and its foregrounds – including the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effect from clusters of galaxies and radio point sources – tell us about the Universe on its very largest scales, and also what the Universe is made of. We describe the creation of software to carry out large numbers of virtual sky simulations. The simulations include the CMB, SZ effect and point sources, and are designed to examine the effects of

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarisation anisotropies contain a wealth of cosmological information concerning the formation and evolution of the universe. Upcoming CMB experiments targeting measurements of the B-mode polarisation pattern of the CMB face a major challenge both in terms of experimental design and data analysis due to the small amplitude of the signal and the presence of experimental systematic effects and polarised foregrounds.

The observation of this signal would therefore open the door to the study of the physics of the very early universe.
