SuMAC: On-sky demonstration of multi-pixel on-chip millimeter-wave spectroscopy at the Large Millimeter Telescope
Marcial Becerril-Tapia, Peter S. Barry, Christopher S. Benson +22
The SuperSpec-MUSCAT Collaboration (SuMAC) is an effort to operate SuperSpec spectrometers in the MUSCAT instrument at the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT). SuperSpec is an on-chip…
Confusion of extragalactic sources in the far infrared: a baseline assessment of the performance of PRIMAger in intensity and polarization
Matthieu Béthermin, Alberto D. Bolatto, François Boulanger +11
Because of their limited angular resolution, far-infrared telescopes are usually affected by confusion phenomenon. Since several galaxies can be located in the same instrumental be…
Parallel Plate Capacitor Aluminum KIDs for Future Far-Infrared Space-Based Observatories
Nicholas F. Cothard, Christopher Albert, Andrew D. Beyer +12
Future space-based far-infrared astrophysical observatories will require exquis-itely sensitive detectors consistent with the low optical backgrounds. The PRobe far-Infrared Missio…
High-sensitivity transition-edge-sensed bolometers: improved speed and characterization with AC and DC bias
Logan Foote, Michael D. Audley, Charles +12
We report on efforts to improve the speed of low-G far-infrared transition-edged-sensed bolometers. We use a fabrication process that does not require any dry etch steps to reduce…
Full-Array Noise Performance of Deployment-Grade SuperSpec mm-wave On-Chip Spectrometers
K. S. Karkare, P. S. Barry, C. M. Bradford +15
SuperSpec is an on-chip filter-bank spectrometer designed for wideband moderate-resolution spectroscopy at millimeter wavelengths, employing TiN kinetic inductance detectors. Super…
Constraining the ISM properties of the Cloverleaf quasar host galaxy with Herschel spectroscopy
Bade D. Uzgil, C. Matt Bradford, Steve Hailey-Dunsheath +2
We present Herschel observations of far-infrared (FIR) fine-structure (FS) lines [CII]158m, [OI]63m, [OIII]52m, and [SiII]35m in the z=2.56 Cloverleaf quasar, and combi…
Status of SuperSpec: A Broadband, On-Chip Millimeter-Wave Spectrometer
S. Hailey-Dunsheath, E. Shirokoff, P. S. Barry +16
SuperSpec is a novel on-chip spectrometer we are developing for multi-object, moderate resolution (R = 100 - 500), large bandwidth (~1.65:1) submillimeter and millimeter survey spe…
High Spectral Resolution Measurement of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Null with Z-Spec
M. Zemcov, J. Aguirre, J. Bock +15
The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect spectrum crosses through a null where dT_CMB = 0 near nu_0 = 217 GHz. In a cluster of galaxies, nu_0 can be shifted from the canonical thermal SZ…
The Water Vapor Spectrum of APM 08279+5255: X-Ray Heating and Infrared Pumping over Hundreds of Parsecs
C. M. Bradford, A. D. Bolatto, P. R. Maloney +11
We present the rest-frame 200--320 \mm\ spectrum of the z=3.91 quasar \apm, obtained with Z-Spec at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. In addition to the \jeight\ to \jthirteen…
Intensity Mapping of the [CII] Fine Structure Line during the Epoch of Reionization
Yan Gong, Asantha Cooray, Marta Silva +4
The atomic CII fine-structure line is one of the brightest lines in a typical star-forming galaxy spectrum with a luminosity ~ 0.1% to 1% of the bolometric luminosity. It is potent…
Discovery of a Multiply-Lensed Submillimeter Galaxy in Early HerMES Herschel/SPIRE Data
A. Conley, A. Cooray, J. D. Vieira +88
We report the discovery of a bright ($f(250\mum) > 400$ mJy), multiply-lensed submillimeter galaxy \obj\ in {\it Herschel}/SPIRE Science Demonstration Phase data from the HerMES pr…
A Census of the High-Density Molecular Gas in M82
B. J. Naylor, C. M. Bradford, J. E. Aguirre +9
We present a three-pointing study of the molecular gas in the starburst nucleus of M82 based on 190 - 307 GHz spectra obtained with Z-Spec at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory.…
The Future of Far-Infrared / Submillimeter Astrophysics with Single-Dish Telescopes
C. Matt Bradford, Jonas Zmuidzinas
Although far-IR -- mm-wave astronomy has now been developing for several decades, access to this portion of the spectrum remains difficult and limited. Relative to their optical-wa…
