Estimating the confusion noise for the Millimetron space telescope

Understand

Sensitivity of future far infrared 10m class space telescopes will be limited by a confusion noise created by distant galaxies.

• Our primary goal is to create a model that will allow us to estimate the confusion noise parameters of the Millimetron mission.
• We construct a model of the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) aimed at exploring the methods of prediction and reduction of the confusion noise.
• The model is based on the publicly available eGALICS simulation.
