Explore the SPHEREx mission's groundbreaking approach to spectral mapping of the universe in this 40-minute conference talk by Olivier Dore from JPL. Learn about this innovative space-based observatory that will conduct an all-sky spectroscopic survey, creating the first comprehensive three-dimensional map of the cosmos across multiple wavelengths. Discover how SPHEREx will advance our understanding of cosmic inflation by studying the large-scale structure of the universe, investigate the formation and evolution of galaxies through detailed spectral analysis, and contribute to multi-probe cosmology by providing crucial data for cross-correlation studies with other astronomical surveys. Understand the technical capabilities of the mission, including its unique spectroscopic approach that will measure spectra for hundreds of millions of galaxies and stars, and examine how this data will complement and enhance results from other major cosmological surveys like those studying the cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure. Gain insights into the mission's potential contributions to understanding dark matter, dark energy, and the fundamental physics of the early universe through its unprecedented spectral mapping capabilities.
