A Roadmap for Canadian Submillimetre Astronomy
Tracy Webb, Scott Chapman, James Di Francesco +4
We survey the present landscape in submillimetre astronomy for Canada and describe a plan for continued engagement in observational facilities to ~2020. Building on Canada's decada…
First Searches for Optical Counterparts to Gravitational-wave Candidate Events
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +904
During the LIGO and Virgo joint science runs in 2009-2010, gravitational wave (GW) data from three interferometer detectors were analyzed within minutes to select GW candidate even…
Modulation of CMB polarization with a warm rapidly-rotating half-wave plate on the Atacama B-Mode Search (ABS) instrument
A. Kusaka, T. Essinger-Hileman, J. W. Appel +11
We evaluate the modulation of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization using a rapidly-rotating, half-wave plate (HWP) on the Atacama B-Mode Search (ABS). After demodulating…
How to combine correlated data sets -- A Bayesian hyperparameter matrix method
Yin-Zhe Ma, Aaron Berndsen
We construct a "hyperparameter matrix" statistical method for performing the joint analyses of multiple correlated astronomical data sets, in which the weights of data sets are det…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Beam Measurements and the Microwave Brightness Temperatures of Uranus and Saturn
Matthew Hasselfield, Kavilan Moodley, J. Richard Bond +23
We describe the measurement of the beam profiles and window functions for the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), which operated from 2007 to 2010 with kilo-pixel bolometer arrays c…
Planck 2013 results. IX. HFI spectral response
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +217
The Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) spectral response was determined through a series of ground based tests conducted with the HFI focal plane in a cryogenic environment pri…
