Studies of Systematic Uncertainties for Simons Observatory: Optical Effects and Sensitivity Considerations
Patricio A. Gallardo, Jon Gudmundsson, Brian J. Koopman +32
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a new experiment that aims to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) in temperature and polarization. SO will measure the polarized sky over a…
Far Sidelobes from Baffles and Telescope Support Structures in the Atacama Cosmology Telescope
Patricio A. Gallardo, Nicholas F. Cothard, Roberto Puddu +5
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) is a 6 m telescope located in the Atacama Desert, designed to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with arcminute resolution. ACT, wi…
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…
Optimizing the Efficiency of Fabry-Perot Interferometers with Silicon-Substrate Mirrors
Nicholas F. Cothard, Mahiro Abe, Thomas Nikola +8
We present the novel design of microfabricated, silicon-substrate based mirrors for use in cryogenic Fabry-Perot Interferometers (FPIs) for the mid-IR to sub-mm/mm wavelength regim…
