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…

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…

Particle response of antenna-coupled TES arrays: results from SPIDER and the lab

B. Osherson, J. P. Filippini, J. Fu +45

Future mm-wave and sub-mm space missions will employ large arrays of multiplexed Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometers. Such instruments must contend with the high flux of cosmic…

A cryogenic rotation stage with a large clear aperture for the half-wave plates in the Spider instrument

Sean Bryan, Peter Ade, Mandana Amiri +47

We describe the cryogenic half-wave plate rotation mechanisms built for and used in Spider, a polarization-sensitive balloon-borne telescope array that observed the Cosmic Microwav…

BICEP2 / Keck Array V: Measurements of B-mode Polarization at Degree Angular Scales and 150 GHz by the Keck Array

The BICEP2, Keck Array Collaborations, : +59

The Keck Array is a system of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarimeters, each similar to the BICEP2 experiment. In this paper we report results from the 2012 and 2013 observin…
