The NIKA2 instrument at 30-m IRAM telescope: performance and results
A. Catalano, R. Adam, P. A. R. Ade +84
The New IRAM KID Arrays 2 (NIKA2) consortium has just finished installing and commissioning a millimetre camera on the IRAM 30 m telescope. It is a dual-band camera operating with…
280 GHz Focal Plane Unit Design and Characterization for the SPIDER-2 Suborbital Polarimeter
A. S. Bergman, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +76
We describe the construction and characterization of the 280 GHz bolometric focal plane units (FPUs) to be deployed on the second flight of the balloon-borne SPIDER instrument. The…
Design and performance of dual-polarization lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors for millimeter-wave polarimetry
H. McCarrick, G. Jones, B. R. Johnson +11
Lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) are an attractive technology for millimeter-wave observations that require large arrays of extremely low-noise detectors. We de…
Development of Multi-Chroic MKIDs for Next-Generation CMB Polarization Studies
B. R. Johnson, D. Flanigan, M. H. Abitbol +17
We report on the status of an ongoing effort to develop arrays of horn-coupled, polarization-sensitive microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) that are each sensitive to two…
Intensity-Coupled-Polarization in Instruments with a Continuously Rotating Half-Wave Plate
Joy Didier, Amber D. Miller, Derek Araujo +31
We discuss a systematic effect associated with measuring polarization with a continuously rotating half-wave plate. The effect was identified with the data from the E and B Experim…
Correcting the extended-source calibration for the Herschel-SPIRE Fourier-Transform Spectrometer
Ivan Valtchanov, R. Hopwood, G. Bendo +20
We describe an update to the Herschel-SPIRE Fourier-Transform Spectrometer (FTS) calibration for extended sources, which incorporates a correction for the frequency-dependent far-f…
Tree-based solvers for adaptive mesh refinement code FLASH - I: gravity and optical depths
Richard Wünsch, Stefanie Walch, František Dinnbier +1
We describe an OctTree algorithm for the MPI-parallel, adaptive mesh-refinement code {\sc FLASH}, which can be used to calculate the gas self-gravity, and also the angle-averaged l…
Implications of binary black hole detections on the merger rates of double neutron stars and neutron star-black holes
Anuradha Gupta, K. G. Arun, B. S. Sathyaprakash
We show that the inferred merger rate and chirp masses of binary black holes (BBHs) detected by advanced LIGO (aLIGO) can be used to constrain the rate of double neutron star (DNS)…
Measuring Reionization, Neutrino Mass, and Cosmic Inflation with BFORE
Sean Bryan, Peter Ade, J. Richard Bond +21
BFORE is a NASA high-altitude ultra-long-duration balloon mission proposed to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) across half the sky during a 28-day mid-latitude flight…
The NIKA2 large field-of-view millimeter continuum camera for the 30-m IRAM telescope
Remi Adam, Amar Adane, P. A. R. Ade +45
Millimeter-wave continuum astronomy is today an indispensable tool for both general Astrophysics studies and Cosmology. General purpose, large field-of-view instruments are needed…
Exploring Cosmic Origins with CORE: Survey requirements and mission design
J. Delabrouille, P. de Bernardis, F. R. Bouchet +200
Future observations of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarisation have the potential to answer some of the most fundamental questions of modern physics and cosmology. In this p…
Exploring Cosmic Origins with CORE: The Instrument
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. A. Baselmans +126
We describe a space-borne, multi-band, multi-beam polarimeter aiming at a precise and accurate measurement of the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background. The instrument is…
Calibration and performance studies of the balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimeter PoGO+
M. Chauvin, M. Friis, M. Jackson +7
Polarimetric observations of celestial sources in the hard X-ray band stand to provide new information on emission mechanisms and source geometries. PoGO+ is a Compton scattering p…
The EBEX Balloon Borne Experiment - Optics, Receiver, and Polarimetry
The EBEX Collaboration, Asad M. Aboobaker, Peter Ade +35
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) was a long-duration balloon-borne cosmic microwave background polarimeter that flew over Antarctica in 2013. We describe the experiment's optical syst…
Enhancing the significance of gravitational wave bursts through signal classification
S. Vinciguerra, M. Drago, G. A. Prodi +7
The quest to observe gravitational waves challenges our ability to discriminate signals from detector noise. This issue is especially relevant for transient gravitational waves sea…
The EBEX Balloon-Borne Experiment - Gondola, Attitude Control, and Control Software
The EBEX Collaboration, Asad Aboobaker, Peter Ade +33
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) was a long-duration balloon-borne instrument designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. EBEX was the fir…
