The Simons Observatory: Commissioning of the Mid-Frequency Small Aperture Telescopes
Kathleen Harrington, Remington Gerras, Nicholas Galitzki +88
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The SO Small Aperture Tel…
The Simons Observatory: Development of a Pipeline to Detect Rapid Transients in Time-Ordered Data
Justin Clancy, Carlo Baccigalupi, Carlo Bacciagalupi +15
We introduce a method for detecting astrophysical transients evolving on timescales of milliseconds to minutes using cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey telescopes. While prev…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Machine Learning Driven Tools for Detecting Millimeter Sources in Timestream Pre-processing
Simran K. Nerval, Erika Hornecker, Yilun Guan +14
We present a new pipeline utilizing machine learning for classifying short-duration features in raw time-ordered data (TOD) of cosmic microwave background survey observations. The…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Quantifying Atmospheric Emission above Cerro Toco
Thomas W. Morris, Elia Battistelli, Ricardo Bustos +17
At frequencies below 1 Hz, fluctuations in atmospheric emission in the Chajnantor region in northern Chile are the primary source of interference for bolometric millimeter-wave obs…
Simons Observatory: Observatory Scheduler and Automated Data Processing
Yilun Guan, Kathleen Harrington, Jack Lashner +11
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a next-generation ground-based telescope located in the Atacama Desert in Chile, designed to map the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with unprecede…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Measurement and Analysis of 1D Beams for DR4
Marius Lungu, Emilie R. Storer, Matthew Hasselfield +28
We describe the measurement and treatment of the telescope beams for the Atacama Cosmology Telescope's fourth data release, DR4. Observations of Uranus are used to measure the cent…
The Simons Observatory: Astro2020 Decadal Project Whitepaper
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, Maximilian H. Abitbol, Shunsuke Adachi +280
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment sited on Cerro Toco in the Atacama Desert in Chile that promises to provide breakthrough…
