Thermal architecture for a cryogenic super-pressure balloon payload: design and development of the Taurus flight cryostat
Simon Tartakovsky, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +20
We describe the cryogenic system being developed for Taurus: a super-pressure balloon-borne microwave polarimeter scheduled to fly in 2027. The Taurus cryogenic system consists of…
SuperBIT Superpressure Flight Instrument Overview and Performance: Near diffraction-limited Astronomical Imaging from the Stratosphere
Ajay S. Gill, Steven J. Benton, Christopher J. Damaren +26
SuperBIT was a 0.5-meter near-ultraviolet to near-infrared wide-field telescope that launched on a NASA superpressure balloon into the stratosphere from New Zealand for a 45-night…
In-Flight Performance of Spider's 280 GHz Receivers
Elle C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +84
SPIDER is a balloon-borne instrument designed to map the cosmic microwave background at degree-angular scales in the presence of Galactic foregrounds. SPIDER has mapped a large sky…
From SuperBIT to GigaBIT: Informing next-generation balloon-borne telescope design with Fine Guidance System flight data
Philippe Voyer, Steven J. Benton, Christopher J. Damaren +28
The Super-pressure Balloon-borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT) is a near-diffraction-limited 0.5m telescope that launched via NASA's super-pressure balloon technology on April 16, 2…
Instrument Overview of Taurus: A Balloon-borne CMB and Dust Polarization Experiment
Jared L. May, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +20
Taurus is a balloon-borne cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment optimized to map the E-mode polarization and Galactic foregrounds at the largest angular scales ( …
Analysis of Polarized Dust Emission Using Data from the First Flight of SPIDER
SPIDER Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +67
Using data from the first flight of SPIDER and from Planck HFI, we probe the properties of polarized emission from interstellar dust in the SPIDER observing region. Component separ…
