The Design and Performance of Meteorological Sensors for WindBorne Global Sounding Balloons
Jake Spisak, Christopher P. Riedel, Andrey Sushko +10
WindBorne Systems has developed a constellation of long-duration atmospheric balloons to collect meteorological data across the globe, filling gaps in current in-situ data collecti…
The Simons Observatory: forecasted constraints on primordial gravitational waves with the expanded array of Small Aperture Telescopes
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, I. Abril-Cabezas, S. Adachi +479
We present updated forecasts for the scientific performance of the degree-scale (0.5 deg FWHM at 93 GHz), deep-field survey to be conducted by the Simons Observatory (SO). By 2027,…
The Simons Observatory: Science Goals and Forecasts for the Enhanced Large Aperture Telescope
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, M. Abitbol, I. Abril-Cabezas +419
We describe updated scientific goals for the wide-field, millimeter-wave survey that will be produced by the Simons Observatory (SO). Significant upgrades to the 6-meter SO Large A…
The Simons Observatory: Design, integration, and testing of the small aperture telescopes
Nicholas Galitzki, Tran Tsan, Jake Spisak +77
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment that includes small-aperture telescopes (SATs) observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Ata…
Exploration of the polarization angle variability of the Crab Nebula with POLARBEAR and its application to the search for axion-like particles
Shunsuke Adachi, Tylor Adkins, Carlo Baccigalupi +23
The Crab Nebula, also known as Tau A, is a polarized astronomical source at millimeter wavelengths. It has been used as a stable light source for polarization angle calibration in…
Dark population transfer mechanism for sterile neutrino dark matter
George M. Fuller, Lukáš Gráf, Amol V. Patwardhan +1
We present a mechanism for producing a cosmologically-significant relic density of one or more sterile neutrinos. This scheme invokes two steps: First, a population of "heavy" ster…
The Simons Observatory: Cryogenic Half Wave Plate Rotation Mechanism for the Small Aperture Telescopes
K. Yamada, B. Bixler, Y. Sakurai +24
We present the requirements, design and evaluation of the cryogenic continuously rotating half-wave plate (CHWP) for the Simons Observatory (SO). SO is a cosmic microwave backgroun…
Constraints on axion-like polarization oscillations in the cosmic microwave background with POLARBEAR
The POLARBEAR Collaboration, Shunsuke Adachi, Tylor Adkins +29
Very light pseudoscalar fields, often referred to as axions, are compelling dark matter candidates and can potentially be detected through their coupling to the electromagnetic fie…
The Simons Observatory: Design and Measured Performance of a Carbon Fiber Strut for a Cryogenic Truss
Kevin D. Crowley, Peter Dow, Jordan E. Shroyer +25
We present the design and measured performance of a new carbon fiber strut design that is used in a cryogenically cooled truss for the Simons Observatory Small Aperture Telescope (…
