Temperature as a third dimension in column-density mapping of dusty astrophysical structures associated with star formation
K. A. Marsh, A. P. Whitworth, O. Lomax
We present PPMAP, a Bayesian procedure that uses images of dust continuum emission at multiple wavelengths to produce resolution-enhanced image cubes of differential column-density…
The JCMT Gould Belt Survey: A Quantitative Comparison Between SCUBA-2 Data Reduction Methods
S. Mairs, D. Johnstone, H. Kirk +18
Performing ground-based submillimetre observations is a difficult task as the measurements are subject to absorption and emission from water vapour in the Earth's atmosphere and ti…
WSPEC: A waveguide filter-bank focal plane array spectrometer for millimeter wave astronomy and cosmology
Sean Bryan, James Aguirre, George Che +9
Imaging and spectroscopy at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths are key frontiers in astronomy and cosmology. Large area spectral surveys with moderate spectral resolution (R=50-200) will…
BFORE: The B-mode Foreground Experiment
Michael D. Niemack, Peter Ade, Francesco de Bernardis +19
The B-mode Foreground Experiment (BFORE) is a proposed NASA balloon project designed to make optimal use of the sub-orbital platform by concentrating on three dust foreground bands…
Comparison of absolute gain photometric calibration between Planck/HFI and Herschel/SPIRE at 545 and 857 GHz
B. Bertincourt, G. Lagache, B. Schulz +14
We compare the absolute gain photometric calibration of the Planck/HFI and Herschel/SPIRE instruments on diffuse emission. The absolute calibration of HFI and SPIRE each relies on…
