Characterization of a commercial, front-illuminated interline transfer CCD camera for use as a guide camera on a balloon-borne telescope
Paul Clark, Richard Massey, Herrick L. Chang +10
We report results obtained during the characterization of a commercial front-illuminated progressive scan interline transfer CCD camera. We demonstrate that the unmodified camera o…
In-flight polarization angle calibration for LiteBIRD: blind challenge and cosmological implications
Nicoletta Krachmalnicoff, Tomotake Matsumura, Elena de la Hoz +67
We present a demonstration of the in-flight polarization angle calibration for the JAXA/ISAS second strategic large class mission, LiteBIRD, and estimate its impact on the measurem…
Design of 280 GHz feedhorn-coupled TES arrays for the balloon-borne polarimeter SPIDER
Johannes Hubmayr, Jason E. Austermann, James A. Beall +40
We describe 280 GHz bolometric detector arrays that instrument the balloon-borne polarimeter SPIDER. A primary science goal of SPIDER is to measure the large-scale B-mode polarizat…
Foreground Separation and Constraints on Primordial Gravitational Waves with the PICO Space Mission
Ragnhild Aurlien, Mathieu Remazeilles, Sebastian Belkner +13
PICO is a concept for a NASA probe-scale mission aiming to detect or constrain the tensor to scalar ratio , a parameter that quantifies the amplitude of inflationary gravity wav…
