Summary: This paper presents a metamaterial-inspired flat conformable absorber design operating in a wide frequency range of 80-400 GHz, achieving over 99% absorbance. It is the first successful implementation of a low-profile, ultra-wideband metamaterial absorber for this frequency range and operating conditions.

Summary: The study focuses on the separation of the B-modes of the cosmic microwave background from the dust signal. The power-spectra analysis of Planck data is conducted to improve the characterization of the dust spectral energy distribution in polarization. Residual maps and power spectra reveal the complexity of the dust polarized CMB foreground and emphasize the need for refined dust modeling and understanding of polarization-angle variations.

Summary: LiteBIRD is a future satellite mission aimed at observing the polarization of cosmic microwave background radiation to study the inflationary universe. The mission will use three telescopes equipped with transition-edge sensor bolometers. This study estimated the instrumental sensitivity of LiteBIRD based on its current design, taking into account the detector noise from optical loadings as well as thermal carrier and readout noise. The observational sensitivities for fifteen bands specifically designed for LiteBIRD telescopes were calculated assuming a certain observation time efficiency.

Summary: This study conducted a large observing program using the NIKA2 camera to survey heavily obscured galaxies at high redshift. By developing an end-to-end simulation and correcting for resolution effects, the researchers obtained deep measurements of number counts at 1.2 and 2mm. The results reconcile the single-dish and interferometric number counts and will serve as an important reference for studying dust-obscured galaxies at high redshift.

Summary: This article studies the time variations of the PKS 1830-211 system to obtain information about both the activity of the quasar and small-scale structures in the absorber. The results show that the system's variability is related to the quasar's intrinsic activity, and significant variations are observed in the absorption profile of the foreground absorber.

Summary: We characterize Galactic dust filaments by correlating BICEP/Keck and Planck data with polarization templates based on neutral hydrogen (H i) observations. Dust polarization is important for both our understanding of astrophysical processes in the interstellar medium (ISM) and the search for primordial gravitational waves in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We analyze the deep BICEP/Keck data at 95, 150, and 220 GHz, over the low-column-density region of sky where BICEP/Keck has set the best limits on primordial gravitational waves.

Summary: We present estimates of line-of-sight distortion fields derived from the 95 and 150 GHz data taken by BICEP2, BICEP3, and the Keck Array up to the 2018 observing season, leading to cosmological constraints and a study of instrumental and astrophysical systematics. Cosmological constraints are derived from three of the distortion fields concerning gravitational lensing from large-scale structure, polarization rotation from magnetic fields or an axion-like field, and the screening effect of patchy reionization. We measure an amplitude of the lensing power spectrum A(L)(phi phi) = 0.95 +/- 0.20. We constrain polarization rotation, expressed as the coupling constant of a Chern-Simons electromagnetic term g(a gamma) <= 2. 6 x10(-2)/H-I, where H-I is the inflationary Hubble parameter, and an amplitude of primordial magnetic fields smoothed over 1Mpc B-1Mpc <= 6.6 nG at 95 GHz. We constrain the rms of optical depth fluctuations in a simple crinkly surface model of patchy reionization, finding A(tau) < 0.19 (2 sigma) for the coherence scale of L-c= 100. We show that all of the distortion fields of the 95 and 150 GHz polarization maps are consistent with simulations including lensed Lambda CDM, dust, and noise, with no evidence for instrumental systematics. In some cases, the EB and TB quadratic estimators presented here are more sensitive than our previous map-based null tests at identifying and rejecting spurious B-modes that might arise from instrumental effects. Finally, we verify that the standard deprojection filtering in the BICEP/Keck data processing is effective at removing temperature to polarization leakage.

Summary: Including millimeter-wave data in multiwavelength studies of AGN variability provides unique insights into AGN physics. This work demonstrates the potential of CMB telescopes for long-term, high-cadence millimeter-wave AGN monitoring. A pilot study using SPTpol instrument data shows flaring behavior of the AGN PKS 2326-502, and correlations between millimeter-wave, optical, and gamma-ray observations are investigated. This study paves the way for future AGN monitoring with CMB experiments and multiwavelength studies.

Summary: This study utilized the NIKA2 camera to observe the galaxy NGC 891 and conducted a detailed investigation of its interstellar medium using data from multiple wavelengths. The results showed that dust, free-free, and synchrotron emissions have different distributions in different emitting regions within the galaxy, and different dusty environments were also identified. The study also found that small dust grains contribute to a certain proportion of the total dust mass, with a higher fraction in the galaxy halo.

Summary: We present a measurement of the temperature power spectrum (TT) of the cosmic microwave background using observations made by the SPT-3G. The results show excellent agreement between frequencies and spectrum types, and provide the tightest cosmological constraints from SPT primary power spectrum measurements to date. The addition of temperature data improves constraints for each of the ACDM cosmological parameters.

Summary: We use the pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (KSZ) effect to infer the average optical depth of a sample of optically selected galaxy clusters from the Dark Energy Survey. The pairwise KSZ signal is detected at 4.1 sigma in cosmic microwave background temperature maps from two years of observations with the SPT-3G camera. After data cuts, there are 24,580 clusters in the observed area. We calculate the mean optical depth using two techniques: the pairwise KSZ signal gives tau over bar e = (2.97 +/- 0.73) x 10-3, while the thermal SZ signal gives tau over bar e = (2.51 +/- 0.55stat +/- 0.15syst) x 10-3. The two measures agree within 0.6 sigma. We perform systematic checks to ensure the validity of our analysis.
