Development of Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors for NIKA
M. Roesch, A. Benoit, A. Bideaud +10
Lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors(LEKIDs) have recently shown considerable promise as direct absorption mm-wavelength detectors for astronomical applications. One major r…
MKID development for SuperSpec: an on-chip, mm-wave, filter-bank spectrometer
Erik Shirokoff, Peter S. Barry, Charles M. Bradford +16
SuperSpec is an ultra-compact spectrometer-on-a-chip for millimeter and submillimeter wavelength astronomy. Its very small size, wide spectral bandwidth, and highly multiplexed rea…
SuperSpec: design concept and circuit simulations
Attila Kovács, Peter S. Barry, Charles M. Bradford +14
SuperSpec is a pathfinder for future lithographic spectrometer cameras, which promise to energize extra-galactic astrophysics at (sub)millimeter wavelengths: delivering 200--500 km…
Large-Scale Image Processing with the ROTSE Pipeline for Follow-Up of Gravitational Wave Events
L. K. Nuttall, D. J. White, P. J. Sutton +4
Electromagnetic (EM) observations of gravitational-wave (GW) sources would bring unique insights into a source which are not available from either channel alone. However EM follow-…
The bolometric focal plane array of the Polarbear CMB experiment
K. Arnold, P. A. R. Ade, A. E. Anthony +53
The Polarbear Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization experiment is currently observing from the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile. It will characterize the expected B-mode p…
The POLARBEAR Experiment
Z. Kermish, P. Ade, A. Anthony +53
We present the design and characterization of the POLARBEAR experiment. POLARBEAR will measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on angular scales ranging f…
Performance and on-sky optical characterization of the SPTpol instrument
E. M. George, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +62
In January 2012, the 10m South Pole Telescope (SPT) was equipped with a polarization-sensitive camera, SPTpol, in order to measure the polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwa…
Feedhorn-coupled TES polarimeter camera modules at 150 GHz for CMB polarization measurements with SPTpol
J. W. Henning, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +58
The SPTpol camera is a dichroic polarimetric receiver at 90 and 150 GHz. Deployed in January 2012 on the South Pole Telescope (SPT), SPTpol is looking for faint polarization signal…
Design and characterization of 90 GHz feedhorn-coupled TES polarimeter pixels in the SPTpol camera
J. T. Sayre, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +58
The SPTpol camera is a two-color, polarization-sensitive bolometer receiver, and was installed on the 10 meter South Pole Telescope in January 2012. SPTpol is designed to study the…
South Pole Telescope Software Systems: Control, Monitoring, and Data Acquisition
K. Story, E. Leitch, P. Ade +64
We present the software system used to control and operate the South Pole Telescope. The South Pole Telescope is a 10-meter millimeter-wavelength telescope designed to measure anis…
BICEP2 and Keck Array operational overview and status of observations
R. W. Ogburn, P. A. R. Ade, R. W. Aikin +50
The BICEP2 and Keck Array experiments are designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on angular scales of 2-4 degrees (l=50-100). This is the reg…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Data Characterization and Map Making
Rolando Dünner, Matthew Hasselfield, Tobias A. Marriage +71
We present a description of the data reduction and mapmaking pipeline used for the 2008 observing season of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). The data presented here at 148 GH…
Empirical modelling of the BLASTPol achromatic half-wave plate for precision submillimetre polarimetry
Lorenzo Moncelsi, Peter Ade, Francesco Elio Angile +18
A cryogenic achromatic half-wave plate (HWP) for submillimetre astronomical polarimetry has been designed, manufactured, tested, and deployed in the Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Su…
Impacts of The Radiation Environment At L2 On Bolometers Onboard The Herschel Space Observatory
Benoît Horeau, Olivier Boulade, Arnaud Claret +7
We present the effects of cosmic rays on the detectors onboard the Herschel satellite. We describe in particular the glitches observed on the two types of cryogenic far- infrared b…
Avoiding selection bias in gravitational wave astronomy
C. Messenger, J. Veitch
When searching for gravitational waves in the data from ground-based gravitational wave detectors it is common to use a detection threshold to reduce the number of background event…
A Demonstration of Spectral and Spatial Interferometry at THz Frequencies
William F. Grainger, Roser Juanola-Parramon, Peter A. R. Ade +5
A laboratory prototype spectral/spatial interferometer has been constructed to demonstrate the feasibility of the double Fourier technique at Far Infrared (FIR) wavelengths (0.15 -…
