COMPASS is an on-axis 2.6 m telescope coupled to a correlation polarimeter operating at a wavelength of 1 cm.

Abstract

COMPASS is an on-axis 2.6 m telescope coupled to a correlation polarimeter operating at a wavelength of 1 cm. The entire instrument was built specifically for cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization studies. We report here on observations of 2001 February–April using this system. We set an upper limit on E-mode polarized anisotropies of 1036 K2 (95% confidence limit) in the l range 93–555.
