Calibrating CHIME, A New Radio Interferometer to Probe Dark Energy
Laura B. Newburgh, Graeme E. Addison, Mandana Amiri +32
The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) is a transit interferometer currently being built at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory (DRAO) in Penticton, BC…
Searching for Fast Optical Transients using VERITAS Cherenkov Telescopes
Sean Griffin, David Hanna, Adam Gilbert
Astronomical transients are intrinsically interesting things to study. Fast optical transients (microsecond timescale) are a largely unexplored field of optical astronomy mainly du…
POLARBEAR Constraints on Cosmic Birefringence and Primordial Magnetic Fields
POLARBEAR Collaboration, Peter A. R. Ade, Kam Arnold +84
We constrain anisotropic cosmic birefringence using four-point correlations of even-parity -mode and odd-parity -mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background measurem…
Optical Characterization of the SPT-3G Focal Plane
Zhaodi Pan, Peter Ade, Zeeshan Ahmed +73
The third-generation South Pole Telescope camera is designed to measure the cosmic microwave background across three frequency bands (95, 150 and 220 GHz) with ~16,000 transition-e…
WinterLab: Developing a low-cost, portable experiment platform to encourage engagement in the electronics lab
Maclean Rouble, Matt Dobbs, Adam Gilbert
Encouraging student engagement is a key aim in any educational setting, and allowing students the freedom to pursue their own methods of solving problems through independent experi…
A Radio-Frequency-over-Fiber link for large-array radio astronomy applications
Juan Mena, Kevin Bandura, Jean-Francois Cliche +3
A prototype 425-850 MHz Radio-Frequency-over-Fiber (RFoF) link for the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) is presented. The design is based on a directly modula…
ICE-based Custom Full-Mesh Network for the CHIME High Bandwidth Radio Astronomy Correlator
Kevin Bandura, Jean-Francois Cliche, Matt Dobbs +4
New generation radio interferometers encode signals from thousands of antenna feeds across large bandwidth. Channelizing and correlating this data requires networking capabilities…
Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) Pathfinder
Kevin Bandura, Graeme E. Addison, Mandana Amiri +31
A pathfinder version of CHIME (the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment) is currently being commissioned at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory (DRAO) in Pentict…
