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…
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…
The Simons Observatory: Instrument Overview
Nicholas Galitzki, Aamir Ali, Kam S. Arnold +75
The Simons Observatory (SO) will make precise temperature and polarization measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) using a set of telescopes which will cover angular…
The Simons Observatory: Science goals and forecasts
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, Peter Ade, James Aguirre +247
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a new cosmic microwave background experiment being built on Cerro Toco in Chile, due to begin observations in the early 2020s. We describe the scient…
