Optical modeling and polarization calibration for CMB measurements with ACTPol and Advanced ACTPol
Brian Koopman, Jason Austermann, Hsiao-Mei Cho +21
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope Polarimeter (ACTPol) is a polarization sensitive upgrade to the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. Located at an elevation of 5190 m, ACTPol measures the…
Readout of two-kilopixel transition-edge sensor arrays for Advanced ACTPol
Shawn W. Henderson, Jason R. Stevens, Mandana Amiri +30
Advanced ACTPol is an instrument upgrade for the six-meter Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) designed to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization…
Mechanical design and development of TES bolometer detector arrays for the Advanced ACTPol experiment
Jonathan T. Ward, Jason Austermann, James A. Beall +27
The next generation Advanced ACTPol (AdvACT) experiment is currently underway and will consist of four Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometer arrays, with three operating together,…
Survey strategy optimization for the Atacama Cosmology Telescope
F. De Bernardis, J. R. Stevens, M. Hasselfield +34
In recent years there have been significant improvements in the sensitivity and the angular resolution of the instruments dedicated to the observation of the Cosmic Microwave Backg…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: The polarization-sensitive ACTPol instrument
R. J. Thornton, P. A. R. Ade, S. Aiola +53
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) is designed to make high angular resolution measurements of anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at millimeter wavelengths. W…
Systematic effects from an ambient-temperature, continuously-rotating half-wave plate
T. Essinger-Hileman, A. Kusaka, J. W. Appel +10
We present an evaluation of systematic effects associated with a continuously-rotating, ambient-temperature half-wave plate (HWP) based on two seasons of data from the Atacama B-Mo…
