Calibration of CMB Telescopes with PROTOCALC
Gabriele Coppi, Federico Astori, Giulia Rancati Cattaneo +4
Cosmic Microwave Background experiments need to measure polarization properties of the incoming radiation very accurately to achieve their scientific goals. As a result of that, it…
Measuring the CMB spectral distortions with COSMO: the multi-mode antenna system
E. Manzan, L. Albano, C. Franceschet +29
In this work, we present the design and manufacturing of the two multi-mode antenna arrays of the COSMO experiment and the preliminary beam pattern measurements of their fundamenta…
Simons Observatory: Pre-deployment Performance of a Large Aperture Telescope Optics Tube in the 90 and 150 GHz Spectral Bands
Carlos E. Sierra, Kathleen Harrington, Shreya Sutariya +42
The Simons Observatory will map the temperature and polarization over half of the sky, at millimeter wavelengths in six spectral bands from the Atacama Desert in Chile. These data…
The Simons Observatory: Design, integration, and testing of the small aperture telescopes
Nicholas Galitzki, Tran Tsan, Jake Spisak +77
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment that includes small-aperture telescopes (SATs) observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Ata…
Absolute reference for microwave polarization experiments -- The COSMOCal project and its proof of concept
A. Ritacco, L. Bizzarri, S. Savorgnano +25
The cosmic microwave background (CMB), a remnant of the Big Bang, provides unparalleled insights into the primordial universe, its energy content, and the origin of cosmic structur…
The BLAST Observatory: A Sensitivity Study for Far-IR Balloon-borne Polarimeters
The BLAST Observatory Collaboration, Gabriele Coppi, Simon Dicker +21
Sensitive wide-field observations of polarized thermal emission from interstellar dust grains will allow astronomers to address key outstanding questions about the life cycle of ma…
