Field Scanner Design for MUSTANG of the Green Bank Telescope
Jingquan Cheng, Yang Li, Xinnan Li +1
MUSTANG is a bolometer camera for the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) working at a frequency of 90 GHz. The detector has a field of view of 40 arcseconds. To cancel out random emission…
The Cosmic Background Imager 2
Angela C. Taylor, Michael E. Jones, James R. Allison +14
We describe an upgrade to the Cosmic Background Imager instrument to increase its surface brightness sensitivity at small angular scales. The upgrade consisted of replacing the thi…
Holographic Measurement and Improvement of the Green Bank Telescope Surface
Todd R. Hunter, Frederic R. Schwab, Steven D. White +11
We describe the successful design, implementation, and operation of a 12 GHz holography system installed on the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT). We have used a geostation…
Discovery of the correspondence between intra-cluster radio emission and a high pressure region detected through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect
C. Ferrari, H. T. Intema, E. Orrù +9
We analyzed new 237 MHz and 614 MHz GMRT data of the most X-ray luminous galaxy cluster, RX J1347-1145. Our radio results are compared with the MUSTANG 90 GHz Sunyaev-Zel'dovich ef…
Measuring and Correcting Wind-Induced Pointing Errors of the Green Bank Telescope Using an Optical Quadrant Detector
Paul Ries, Todd R. Hunter, Kim T. Constantikes +6
Wind-induced pointing errors are a serious concern for large-aperture high-frequency radio telescopes. In this paper, we describe the implementation of an optical quadrant detector…
The Radio - 2 mm Spectral Index of the Crab Nebula Measured with GISMO
R. G. Arendt, J. V. George, J. G. Staguhn +17
We present results of 2 mm observations of the Crab Nebula, obtained using the Goddard-IRAM Superconducting 2 Millimeter Observer (GISMO) bolometer camera on the IRAM 30 m telescop…
