The Collaboration for Astronomy Signal Processing and Electronics Research (CASPER) has been working for a decade to reduce the time and cost of designing, building and deploying n…
3.5-Year Monitoring of 225 GHz Opacity at the Summit of Greenland
Satoki Matsushita, Keiichi Asada, Pierre L. Martin-Cocher +6
We present the 3.5-yr monitoring results of 225 GHz opacity at the summit of the Greenland ice sheet (Greenland Summit Camp) at an altitude of 3200 m using a tipping radiometer. We…
Stochastic Optics: A Scattering Mitigation Framework for Radio Interferometric Imaging
Michael D. Johnson
Just as turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere can severely limit the angular resolution of optical telescopes, turbulence in the ionized interstellar medium fundamentally limits the…
Status of the Schwarzchild-Couder Medium-Sized Telescope for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
W. Benbow, A. N. Otte
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is planned to be the next-generation very-high-energy (VHE; E > 100 GeV) gamma-ray observatory. It is anticipated that CTA will improve upon the…
Maximizing Science in the Era of LSST: A Community-Based Study of Needed US Capabilities
