The Circumgalactic H Spectrograph (CHS) I. Design, Engineering, and Early Commissioning
Nicole Melso, David Schiminovich, Brian Smiley +8
The Circumgalactic H Spectrograph (CHS) is a ground-based optical integral field spectrograph designed to detect ultra-faint extended emission from diffuse ionized gas in t…
Very Extended Ionized Gas Discovered around NGC 1068 with the Circumgalactic H Spectrograph
Nicole Melso, David Schiminovich, Meghna Sitaram +4
We have performed wide-field, ultra-low surface brightness H emission line mapping around NGC 1068 with the newly commissioned Circumgalactic H Spectrograph (\chas). NGC 10…
Design of Dual-Polarization Horn-Coupled Kinetic Inductance Detectors for Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimetry
Sean Bryan, Kristi Bradford, George Che +10
Mapping the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background is yielding exciting data on the origin of the universe, the reionization of the universe, and the growth of cosmic stru…
FIREBall-2: advancing TRL while doing proof-of-concept astrophysics on a suborbital platform
Erika T. Hamden, Keri Hoadley, D. Christopher Martin +32
Here we discuss advances in UV technology over the last decade, with an emphasis on photon counting, low noise, high efficiency detectors in sub-orbital programs. We focus on the u…
