The Simons Observatory: Commissioning of the Mid-Frequency Small Aperture Telescopes
Kathleen Harrington, Remington Gerras, Nicholas Galitzki +88
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The SO Small Aperture Tel…
In-Band Scattering and Absorption of Infrared Blocking Foam Filters for Millimeter-wave Cameras
Alex Thomas, Bugao Zou, Shreya Sutariya +11
Expanded closed-cell polymer foams are widely used as thermal infrared (IR) blocking filters in millimeter-wave cameras, particularly for Cosmic Microwave Background observations.…
The Simons Observatory: On-sky performance of radio-transparent multi-layer insulation (RT-MLI) using Styroace-II Styrofoam
Samuel Day-Weiss, Nicholas Galitzki, Atsuto Takeuchi +14
We present the on-sky performance of a Radio-Transparent Multi-Layer Insulation filter (RT-MLI) that uses Styroace-II styrofoam to reject ambient thermal radiation from entering a…
The Simons Observatory: laboratory beam characterization for the first small aperture telescope
Remington G. Gerras, Thomas Alford, Michael J. Randall +10
The Simons Observatory is a ground-based telescope array located at an elevation of 5200 meters, in the Atacama Desert in Chile, designed to measure the temperature and polarizatio…
The Simons Observatory: Deployment and current configuration of the Observatory Control System for SAT-MF1 and data access software systems
Sanah Bhimani, Jack Lashner, Simone Aiola +12
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a Cosmic Microwave Background experiment located in the Atacama Desert in Chile. SO consists of three small aperture telescopes (SATs) and one large…
The Simons Observatory: A Minimum-Cost Matching Algorithm for Pairing Measured Resonances with Designed Detectors
Jack Lashner, Kaiwen Zheng, Kevin T. Crowley +4
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment currently being deployed to Cerro Toco in the Atacama Desert of Chile. The initial deployment o…
