Performance and on-sky optical characterization of the SPTpol instrument
E. M. George, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +62
In January 2012, the 10m South Pole Telescope (SPT) was equipped with a polarization-sensitive camera, SPTpol, in order to measure the polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwa…
SPTpol: an instrument for CMB polarization measurements with the South Pole Telescope
J. E. Austermann, K. A. Aird, J. A. Beall +58
SPTpol is a dual-frequency polarization-sensitive camera that was deployed on the 10-meter South Pole Telescope in January 2012. SPTpol will measure the polarization anisotropy of…
Feedhorn-coupled TES polarimeter camera modules at 150 GHz for CMB polarization measurements with SPTpol
J. W. Henning, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +58
The SPTpol camera is a dichroic polarimetric receiver at 90 and 150 GHz. Deployed in January 2012 on the South Pole Telescope (SPT), SPTpol is looking for faint polarization signal…
Design and characterization of 90 GHz feedhorn-coupled TES polarimeter pixels in the SPTpol camera
J. T. Sayre, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +58
The SPTpol camera is a two-color, polarization-sensitive bolometer receiver, and was installed on the 10 meter South Pole Telescope in January 2012. SPTpol is designed to study the…
South Pole Telescope Software Systems: Control, Monitoring, and Data Acquisition
K. Story, E. Leitch, P. Ade +64
We present the software system used to control and operate the South Pole Telescope. The South Pole Telescope is a 10-meter millimeter-wavelength telescope designed to measure anis…
Antenna-coupled TES bolometers for the Keck Array, Spider, and Polar-1
R. O'Brient, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +50
Between the BICEP2 and Keck Array experiments, we have deployed over 1500 dual polarized antenna coupled bolometers to map the Cosmic Microwave Background's polarization. We have b…
Optimization and sensitivity of the Keck Array
S. Kernasovskiy, P. A. R. Ade, R. W. Aikin +41
The Keck Array (SPUD) began observing the cosmic microwave background's polarization in the winter of 2011 at the South Pole. The Keck Array follows the success of the predecessor…
Optical Characterization of the Keck Array Polarimeter at the South Pole
A. G. Vieregg, P. A. R. Ade, R. Aikin +37
The Keck Array (SPUD) is a set of microwave polarimeters that observes from the South Pole at degree angular scales in search of a signature of Inflation imprinted as B-mode polari…
BICEP2 and Keck Array operational overview and status of observations
R. W. Ogburn, P. A. R. Ade, R. W. Aikin +50
The BICEP2 and Keck Array experiments are designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on angular scales of 2-4 degrees (l=50-100). This is the reg…
