The Simons Observatory: Science Goals and Forecasts for the Enhanced Large Aperture Telescope
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, M. Abitbol, I. Abril-Cabezas +419
We describe updated scientific goals for the wide-field, millimeter-wave survey that will be produced by the Simons Observatory (SO). Significant upgrades to the 6-meter SO Large A…
Anti-reflection coating with mullite and Duroid for large-diameter cryogenic sapphire and alumina optics
Kana Sakaguri, Masaya Hasegawa, Yuki Sakurai +10
We developed a broadband two-layer anti-reflection (AR) coating for use on a sapphire half-wave plate (HWP) and an alumina infrared (IR) filter for the cosmic microwave background…
Photon noise correlations in millimeter-wave telescopes
Charles A. Hill, Akito Kusaka
Many modern millimeter and submillimeter (``mm-wave'') telescopes for astronomy are deploying more detectors by increasing detector pixel density, and with the rise of lithographed…
The Simons Observatory: Cryogenic Half Wave Plate Rotation Mechanism for the Small Aperture Telescopes
K. Yamada, B. Bixler, Y. Sakurai +24
We present the requirements, design and evaluation of the cryogenic continuously rotating half-wave plate (CHWP) for the Simons Observatory (SO). SO is a cosmic microwave backgroun…
The POLARBEAR-2 and Simons Array Focal Plane Fabrication Status
B. Westbrook, P. A. R. Ade, M. Aguilar +90
We present on the status of POLARBEAR-2 A (PB2-A) focal plane fabrication. The PB2-A is the first of three telescopes in the Simon Array (SA), which is an array of three cosmic mic…
BISOU: a balloon project to measure the CMB spectral distortions
B. Maffei, M. H. Abitbol, N. Aghanim +24
The BISOU (Balloon Interferometer for Spectral Observations of the Universe) project aims to study the viability and prospects of a balloon-borne spectrometer, pathfinder of a futu…
