Pointing Accuracy Improvements for the South Pole Telescope with Machine Learning
P. M. Chichura, A. Rahlin, A. J. Anderson +93
We present improvements to the pointing accuracy of the South Pole Telescope (SPT) using machine learning. The ability of the SPT to point accurately at the sky is limited by its s…
Detection of Thermal Emission at Millimeter Wavelengths from Low-Earth Orbit Satellites
A. Foster, A. Chokshi, A. J. Anderson +88
The detection of artificial satellite thermal emission at millimeter wavelengths is presented using data from the 3rd-Generation receiver on the South Pole Telescope (SPT-3G). This…
Measurement and Modeling of Polarized Atmosphere at the South Pole with SPT-3G
A. Coerver, J. A. Zebrowski, S. Takakura +102
We present the detection and characterization of fluctuations in linearly polarized emission from the atmosphere above the South Pole. These measurements make use of data from the…
The Design and Integrated Performance of SPT-3G
J. A. Sobrin, A. J. Anderson, A. N. Bender +120
SPT-3G is the third survey receiver operating on the South Pole Telescope dedicated to high-resolution observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Sensitive measurements…
Performance and characterization of the SPT-3G digital frequency-domain multiplexed readout system using an improved noise and crosstalk model
J. Montgomery, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +118
The third generation South Pole Telescope camera (SPT-3G) improves upon its predecessor (SPTpol) by an order of magnitude increase in detectors on the focal plane. The technology u…
The Herschel SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer Spectral Feature Finder I. The Spectral Feature Finder and Catalogue
R. Hopwood, I. Valtchanov, Locke D. Spencer +11
We provide a detailed description of the Herschel-SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) Spectral Feature Finder (FF). The FF is an automated process designed to extract signif…
Recent Advances in Frequency-Multiplexed TES Readout: Vastly Reduced Parasitics and an Increase in Multiplexing Factor with sub-Kelvin SQUIDs
T. de Haan, A. Suzuki, S. T. P. Boyd +9
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurements are fundamentally limited by photon statistics. Therefore, ground-based CMB observatories have been increasing the number of detector…
Performance of Al-Mn Transition-Edge Sensor Bolometers in SPT-3G
A. J. Anderson, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +86
SPT-3G is a polarization-sensitive receiver, installed on the South Pole Telescope, that measures the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from degree to arcminute s…
On-sky performance of the SPT-3G frequency-domain multiplexed readout
A. N. Bender, A. J. Anderson, J. S. Avva +86
Frequency-domain multiplexing (fMux) is an established technique for the readout of large arrays of transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers. Each TES in a multiplexing module has a…
Design and Bolometer Characterization of the SPT-3G First-year Focal Plane
W. Everett, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +73
During the austral summer of 2016-17, the third-generation camera, SPT-3G, was installed on the South Pole Telescope, increasing the detector count in the focal plane by an order o…
Year two instrument status of the SPT-3G cosmic microwave background receiver
A. N. Bender, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +86
The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a millimeter-wavelength telescope designed for high-precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The SPT measures both the tem…
Characterization and performance of the second-year SPT-3G focal plane
D. Dutcher, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +68
The third-generation instrument for the 10-meter South Pole Telescope, SPT-3G, was first installed in January 2017. In addition to completely new cryostats, secondary telescope opt…
Design and characterization of the SPT-3G receiver
J. A. Sobrin, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +68
The SPT-3G receiver was commissioned in early 2017 on the 10-meter South Pole Telescope (SPT) to map anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). New optics, detector, an…
Broadband anti-reflective coatings for cosmic microwave background experiments
A. Nadolski, A. M. Kofman, J. D. Vieira +71
The desire for higher sensitivity has driven ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments to employ ever larger focal planes, which in turn require larger reimaging o…
