Site testing for submillimetre astronomy at Dome C, Antarctica
P. Tremblin, V. Minier, N. Schneider +17
Over the past few years a major effort has been put into the exploration of potential sites for the deployment of submillimetre astronomical facilities. Amongst the most important…
Implementation and testing of the first prompt search for gravitational wave transients with electromagnetic counterparts
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +815
Aims. A transient astrophysical event observed in both gravitational wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) channels would yield rich scientific rewards. A first program initiating EM…
Polypropylene Embedded Metal-Mesh Broadband Achromatic Half Wave Plate for Millimeter Wavelengths
Jin Zhang, Peter Ade, Philip Mauskopf +3
We describe a novel multi-layered metal mesh achromatic half wave plate for use in astronomical polarimetric instruments. The half wave plate is designed to operate across the freq…
A New Artificial Dielectric Metamaterial and its Application as a THz Anti-Reflection Coating
Jin Zhang, Peter Ade, Philip Mauskopf +3
We describe a novel artificial dielectric material which has applications at millimetre and submillimetre wavelengths. The material is manufactured from layers of metal mesh patter…
Thermal architecture for the SPIDER flight cryostat
J. E. Gudmundsson, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +40
We describe the cryogenic system for SPIDER, a balloon-borne microwave polarimeter that will map 8% of the sky with degree-scale angular resolution. The system consists of a 1284 L…
Design and performance of the Spider instrument
M. C. Runyan, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +40
Here we describe the design and performance of the Spider instrument. Spider is a balloon-borne cosmic microwave background polarization imager that will map part of the sky at 90,…
The effect of a scanning flat fold mirror on a CMB B-mode experiment
William F. Grainger, Chris E. North, Peter A. R. Ade
We investigate the possibility of using a flat-fold beam steering mirror for a CMB B-mode experiment. An aluminium flat-fold mirror is found to add 0.075% polarization, which…
A dual-band millimeter-wave kinetic inductance camera for the IRAM 30-meter telescope
A. Monfardini, A. Benoit, A. Bideaud +22
Context. The Neel IRAM KIDs Array (NIKA) is a fully-integrated measurement system based on kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) currently being developed for millimeter wave astrono…
Networks of gravitational wave detectors and three figures of merit
Bernard F. Schutz
This paper develops a general framework for studying the effectiveness of networks of interferometric gravitational wave detectors and then uses it to show that enlarging the exist…
Planck early results: first assessment of the High Frequency Instrument in-flight performance
Planck HFI Core Team, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +163
The Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) is designed to measure the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background and galactic foregrounds in six w…
Planck Early Results. II. The thermal performance of Planck
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +225
The performance of the Planck instruments in space is enabled by their low operating temperatures, 20K for LFI and 0.1K for HFI, achieved through a combination of passive radiative…
Planck Early Results: The Planck mission
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +272
The European Space Agency's Planck satellite was launched on 14 May 2009, and has been surveying the sky stably and continuously since 13 August 2009. Its performance is well in li…
