A Method To Characterize the Wide-Angle Point Spread Function of Astronomical Images
Qing Liu, Roberto Abraham, Colleen Gilhuly +14
Uncertainty in the wide-angle Point Spread Function (PSF) at large angles (tens of arcseconds and beyond) is one of the dominant sources of error in a number of important quantitie…
The Balloon-Borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope Observatory
Ian Lowe, Gabriele Coppi, Peter A. R. Ade +30
The BLAST Observatory is a proposed superpressure balloon-borne polarimeter designed for a future ultra-long duration balloon campaign from Wanaka, New Zealand. To maximize scienti…
Astronomy in a Low-Carbon Future
Christopher D. Matzner, Nicolas B. Cowan, René Doyon +12
The global climate crisis poses new risks to humanity, and with them, new challenges to the practices of professional astronomy. Avoiding the more catastrophic consequences of glob…
Instrumental performance and results from testing of the BLAST-TNG receiver, submillimeter optics, and MKID arrays
Nicholas Galitzki, Peter Ade, Francesco E. Angile +39
Polarized thermal emission from interstellar dust grains can be used to map magnetic fields in star forming molecular clouds and the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM). The Balloon-…
Submillimeter Polarization Spectrum in the Vela C Molecular Cloud
Natalie N. Gandilo, Peter A. R. Ade, Francesco E. Angilè +27
Polarization maps of the Vela C molecular cloud were obtained at 250, 350, and 500um during the 2012 flight of the balloon-borne telescope BLASTPol. These measurements are used in…
The Next Generation BLAST Experiment
Nicholas Galitzki, Peter A. R. Ade, Francesco E. Angilè +38
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol) was a suborbital experiment designed to map magnetic fields in order to study their role in star…
