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…
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…
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 (…
The Simons Observatory Large Aperture Telescope Receiver
Ningfeng Zhu, Tanay Bhandarkar, Gabriele Coppi +68
The Simons Observatory (SO) Large Aperture Telescope Receiver (LATR) will be coupled to the Large Aperture Telescope located at an elevation of 5,200 m on Cerro Toco in Chile. The…
Simons Observatory Small Aperture Telescope overview
Kenji Kiuchi, Shunsuke Adachi, Aamir M. Ali +51
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment from the Atacama Desert in Chile comprising three small-aperture telescopes (SATs) and one large-apert…
