BICEP2 / Keck Array x: Constraints on Primordial Gravitational Waves using Planck, WMAP, and New BICEP2/Keck Observations through the 2015 Season
Keck Array, BICEP2 Collaborations, : +78
We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the BICEP2/Keck CMB polarization experiments up to and including the 2015 observing season. This includes the first Keck Ar…
Development of Calibration Strategies for the Simons Observatory
Sean A. Bryan, Sara M. Simon, Martina Gerbino +19
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a set of cosmic microwave background instruments that will be deployed in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The key science goals include setting new cons…
Constraints on Lorentz Invariance and CPT Violation using Optical Photometry and Polarimetry of Active Galaxies BL Lacertae and S5 B0716+714
Andrew S. Friedman, David Leon, Kevin D. Crowley +5
Various quantum gravity approaches that extend beyond the standard model predict Lorentz Invariance and Charge-Parity-Time Violation at energies approaching the Planck scale. These…
Measurements of tropospheric ice clouds with a ground-based CMB polarization experiment, POLARBEAR
Satoru Takakura, Mario A. O. Aguilar-Faúndez, Yoshiki Akiba +45
The polarization of the atmosphere has been a long-standing concern for ground-based experiments targeting cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization. Ice crystals in upper tro…
Design and characterization of a ground-based absolute polarization calibrator for use with polarization sensitive CMB experiments
M. F. Navaroli, G. P. Teply, K. D. Crowley +4
We present the design and characterization of a ground-based absolute polarization angle calibrator accurate to better than 0.1 degrees for use with polarization sensitive cosmic m…
Studies of Systematic Uncertainties for Simons Observatory: Detector Array Effects
Kevin T. Crowley, Sara M. Simon, Max Silva-Feaver +36
In this proceeding, we present studies of instrumental systematic effects for the Simons Obsevatory (SO) that are associated with the detector system and its interaction with the f…
