FIREBall-2: flight preparation of a proven balloon payload to image the intermediate redshift circumgalactic medium
Vincent Picouet, David Valls-Gabaud, Bruno Milliard +19
FIREBall-2 is a stratospheric balloon-borne 1-m telescope coupled to a UV multi-object slit spectrograph designed to map the faint UV emission surrounding z~0.7 galaxies and quasar…
Performance of the polarization leakage correction in the PILOT data
J-Ph. Bernard, A. Bernard, H. Roussel +33
The Polarized Instrument for Long-wavelength Observation of the Tenuous interstellar medium (PILOT) is a balloon-borne experiment that aims to measure the polarized emission of the…
End-to-end ground calibration and in-flight performance of the FIREBall-2 instrument
Vincent Picouet, Bruno Milliard, Gillian Kyne +18
The payload of the Faint Intergalactic Redshifted Emission Balloon (FIREBall-2), the second generation of the FIREBall instrument (PI: C. Martin, Caltech), has been calibrated and…
FIREBall-2: The Faint Intergalactic Medium Redshifted Emission Balloon Telescope
Erika Hamden, D. Christopher Martin, Bruno Milliard +31
The Faint Intergalactic Medium Redshifted Emission Balloon (FIREBall) is a mission designed to observe faint emission from the circumgalactic medium of moderate redshift (z~0.7) ga…
FIREBall-2: advancing TRL while doing proof-of-concept astrophysics on a suborbital platform
Erika T. Hamden, Keri Hoadley, D. Christopher Martin +32
Here we discuss advances in UV technology over the last decade, with an emphasis on photon counting, low noise, high efficiency detectors in sub-orbital programs. We focus on the u…
PILOT: a balloon-borne experiment to measure the polarized FIR emission of dust grains in the interstellar medium
R. Misawa, J-Ph. Bernard, P. Ade +26
Future cosmology space missions will concentrate on measuring the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background, which potentially carries invaluable information about the earlie…
