Description
The ESA Planck satellite, launched in 2009, produced full-sky maps of the microwave sky
in both temperature and polarization over a broad range of frequencies.
An analysis of these maps allows us to characterize the initial
conditions of our universe. The Planck Collaboration has released
two sets of papers with results on cosmology: one in 2013
and another in 2015. I will discuss the implications of these
results for our understanding of the physics at play in the very
early universe. I will also discuss prospects for improving our understanding
with future CMB probes, in particular of the CMB B mode polarization.
