THE PLANCK SATELLITE: STATUS & PERSPECTIVES

I review the status of development of the PLANCK project which is slated for launch mid-2008. In particular, I illustrate the type of scientific results to expect in light of the current knowledge of the two on-board instruments. Indeed both instruments have now been delivered to industry for integration and they have been fully tested. This leads us to anticipate that the steady and fast rate of progress enjoyed by cosmology, in particular through the constraints given by the analysis of the Cosmic Microwave background (CMB) will continue unabated in the years to come.

We study a particular inflation models with a small-amplitude step-like feature in the inflaton potential as introducted by Adams et al. and we constraints it with data from the WMAP7 and ACT Cosmic Microwave Background experiments. Also we show that the possibility of a step in the inflationary potential like the one preferred by current data will soon be tested by the forthcoming temperature and polarization data from the Planck satellite mission.

We use the Planck LFI 70 GHz data to further probe point source detection technique in the sky maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. The method developed by Tegmark et al. for foreground reduced maps and the Kolmogorov parameter as the descriptor are adopted for the analysis of Planck satellite CMB temperature data. Most of the detected points coincide with point sources already revealed by other methods. However, we have also found nine source candidates for which still no counterparts are known.

Scientific Results

The scientific objective of the COBE Differential Microwave Radiometer (DMR) investigation is to use the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation as a probe of cosmology. Stringent limits can be set on the amplitude of fluctuations of the potential energy at the surface of last scattering of the CMB photons. Large angular scale (>1 .) fluctuations in the gravitational potential energy are directly related to temperature anisotropies in the CMB by the Sachs-Wolfe Effect (Sachs & Wolfe 1967), which describes the gravitational redshift of photons as they are last scattered at a gravitational potential energy per unit mass, ϕ, giving δϕ/c2 = 3δT/T. The DMR instrument was described by Smoot et al. (1990), recent scientific results by Smoot et al. (1991a,b), and calibration by Bennett et al. (1991). The DMR consists of two independent radiometers at each of three frequencies: 31.5, 53, and 90 GHz. Each radiometer measures the difference in temperature between two 7. FWHM beams separated by 60.. The scanning pattern of the instrument causes all 60. separation pixel-pairs to be observed thousands of times.

The author analyzes the legal status of the organizers of artistic creation, enshrined in the Russian legislation de lege lata, and develops the legal status of the organizer of scientific activities de lege ferenda. It is proposed to consider the organizer of scientific activity as only the head of the temporary scientific team, the purpose of which is to solve a specific scientific problem. A set of elements of the legal structure is formulated, which may be fixed in a normative manner in order to ensure uniformity of legal regulation of the activities of temporary research teams. The status of the organizer of scientific activity is determined on the base of his organizational efforts to guide the creative activities of the team (a distinction is made between the creative and organizational contribution of the head of the scientific team to the overall result). Various options for modeling the legal status of the organizer of scientific activities are discussed: inclusion of the organizer among the co-authors the scientific results obtained by the team; inclusion of the organizer among the co-authors in case if he / she has a creative idea (topic) of academic search; granting the organizer related intellectual rights to the entire result obtained by the team. It is presumed that the organizer of scientific activity is the author of the idea of scientific search for solving the task set for the temporary team. It is concluded that the organizer of scientific activity (the head of the temporary scientific team) must be endowed with related intellectual rights: 1) the exclusive right to use the scientific result obtained by the team as a whole, and 2) the personal non-property right to indicate his name in any use of this result. The author substantiates the content, non-turnover and special validity period of the exclusive right of the organizer of scientific activity.
