A wide field-of-view low-resolution spectrometer at APEX: instrument design and science forecast
The CONCERTO collaboration, P. Ade, M. Aravena +36
Characterise the large-scale structure in the Universe from present times to the high redshift epoch of reionisation is essential to constraining the cosmology, the history of star…
The Simons Observatory: forecasted constraints on primordial gravitational waves with the expanded array of Small Aperture Telescopes
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, I. Abril-Cabezas, S. Adachi +479
We present updated forecasts for the scientific performance of the degree-scale (0.5 deg FWHM at 93 GHz), deep-field survey to be conducted by the Simons Observatory (SO). By 2027,…
Design of The Kinetic Inductance Detector Based Focal Plane Assembly for The Terahertz Intensity Mapper
L. -J. Liu, R. M. J. Janssen, C. M. Bradford +16
We report on the kinetic inductance detector (KID) array focal plane assembly design for the Terahertz Intensity Mapper (TIM). Each of the 2 arrays consists of 4 wafer-sized dies (…
Design and testing of Kinetic Inductance Detector package for the Terahertz Intensity Mapper
L. -J. Liu, R. M. J Janssen, C. M. Bradford +16
The Terahertz Intensity Mapper (TIM) is designed to probe the star formation history in dust-obscured star-forming galaxies around the peak of cosmic star formation. This will be d…
CONCERTO at APEX: Installation and first phase of on-sky commissioning
A. Catalano, P. Ade, M. Aravena +40
CONCERTO (CarbON CII line in post-rEionisation and ReionisaTiOn) is a large field-of-view (FoV) spectro-imager that has been installed on the Cassegrain Cabin of Atacama Pathfinder…
The Detector System for the Stratospheric Kinetic Inductance Polarimeter (SKIP)
B. R. Johnson, P. A. R. Ade, D. Araujo +20
The Stratospheric Kinetic Inductance Polarimeter (SKIP) is a proposed balloon-borne experiment designed to study the cosmic microwave background, the cosmic infrared background and…
The Simons Observatory: Science Goals and Forecasts for the Enhanced Large Aperture Telescope
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, M. Abitbol, I. Abril-Cabezas +419
We describe updated scientific goals for the wide-field, millimeter-wave survey that will be produced by the Simons Observatory (SO). Significant upgrades to the 6-meter SO Large A…
Optical Demonstration of THz, Dual-Polarization Sensitive Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors
B. Dober, J. A. Austermann, J. A. Beall +17
The next generation BLAST experiment (BLAST-TNG) is a suborbital balloon payload that seeks to map polarized dust emission in the 250 m, 350 m and 500 m wavebands. The…
