In-flight gain monitoring of SPIDER's transition-edge sensor arrays
J. P. Filippini, A. E. Gambrel, A. S. Rahlin +67
Experiments deploying large arrays of transition-edge sensors (TESs) often require a robust method to monitor gain variations with minimal loss of observing time. We propose a sens…
A Simulation-Based Method for Correcting Mode Coupling in CMB Angular Power Spectra
J. S. -Y. Leung, J. Hartley, J. M. Nagy +67
Modern CMB analysis pipelines regularly employ complex time-domain filters, beam models, masking, and other techniques during the production of sky maps and their corresponding ang…
The XFaster Power Spectrum and Likelihood Estimator for the Analysis of Cosmic Microwave Background Maps
A. E. Gambrel, A. S. Rahlin, X. Song +64
We present the XFaster analysis package. XFaster is a fast, iterative angular power spectrum estimator based on a diagonal approximation to the quadratic Fisher matrix estimator. X…
A Constraint on Primordial -Modes from the First Flight of the SPIDER Balloon-Borne Telescope
SPIDER Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +68
We present the first linear polarization measurements from the 2015 long-duration balloon flight of SPIDER, an experiment designed to map the polarization of the cosmic microwave b…
