The Planck satellite has completed its mission to map the entire microwave sky at nine separate frequencies. A new data release was made in February 2015, based on the full mission, and including some polarization data for the first time. The Planck team has already produced more than 100 papers, covering many different aspects of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We have been able to...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
In this talk I'll survey the current observational status in
cosmology, highlighting recent developments such as results
from the Planck satellite, and speculate on what we might
achieve in the future. In the near future some important
milestones will be exploration of the neutrino sector, and
much better constraints on the physics of the early universe
via B-mode polarization. In the...

The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) is a novel radio telescope currently under construction at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory in Penticton, BC. Comprising four 20-m by 100-m parabolic cylinders, each equipped with 256 antennas along its focal line, CHIME is a `software telescope' with no moving parts. It will measure the 21-cm emission from neutral...
