Data downloaded via parachute from a NASA super-pressure balloon
Ellen L. Sirks, Richard Massey, Ajay S. Gill +40
In April to May 2023, the superBIT telescope was lifted to the Earth's stratosphere by a helium-filled super-pressure balloon, to acquire astronomical imaging from above (99.5% of)…
Evidence for Spatial Separation of Galactic Dust Populations
Corwin Shiu, Steven J. Benton, Jeffrey P. Filippini +5
We present an implementation of a Bayesian mixture model using Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) techniques to search for spatial separation of Galactic dust populations. Utilizing int…
Freeform three-mirror anastigmatic large-aperture telescope and receiver optics for CMB-S4
Patricio A. Gallardo, Roberto Puddu, Kathleen Harrington +14
CMB-S4, the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) observatory, will provide detailed maps of the CMB at millimeter wavelengths to dramatically advance our…
Lensing in the Blue II: Estimating the Sensitivity of Stratospheric Balloons to Weak Gravitational Lensing
Jacqueline E. McCleary, Spencer W. Everett, Mohamed M. Shaaban +23
The Superpressure Balloon-borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT) is a diffraction-limited, wide-field, 0.5 m, near-infrared to near-ultraviolet observatory designed to exploit the stra…
Sidelobe Modeling and Mitigation for a Three Mirror Anastigmat Cosmic Microwave Background Telescope
Ian Gullett, Bradford Benson, Robert Besuner +16
Telescopes measuring cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization on large angular scales require exquisite control of systematic errors to ensure the fidelity of the cosmologica…
ASCENT - A balloon-borne hard X-ray imaging spectroscopy telescope using transition edge sensor microcalorimeter detectors
Fabian Kislat, Daniel Becker, Douglas Bennett +26
Core collapse supernovae are thought to be one of the main sources in the galaxy of elements heavier than iron. Understanding the origin of the elements is thus tightly linked to o…
