Overview
Learn about the evolving role of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments in wide-field astrophysical surveys through this comprehensive lecture presented by Gilbert Holder from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Explore how CMB experiments have transformed from specialized tools for studying the early universe into powerful instruments for conducting broad astronomical surveys, detecting various cosmic phenomena, and contributing to multiple areas of astrophysical research. Discover the technical advances and methodological developments that have enabled these experiments to serve as versatile observational platforms, offering insights into galaxy clusters, gravitational lensing, and other astrophysical phenomena beyond their original cosmic microwave background mission.
