Taurus
(balloon-borne polarimeter to study the CMB)
Taurus
is a balloon-borne observatory aiming to
find large-scale patterns
(primordial B-modes )
in CMB polarization through polarimetry .
It is a follow-on to SPIDER .
The aim is to survey 70% of the sky.
Taurus is the name of a constellation , and has undoubtedly
been used for other astrophysical projects, as well as its use in
the names of some astronomical objects that fall within the
constellation.
