The SPT-3G+ receiver design
H. Athreya, Z. Ahmed, J. E. Austermann +71
We present the thermo-mechanical design of the cryostat and camera optics for SPT-3G+, a new receiver being developed for the South Pole Telescope (SPT). The receiver consists of 1…
High-Efficiency and Low-Noise Detectors for the Upgraded CLASS 90 GHz Focal Plane
Carolina Núñez, John W. Appel, Rahul Datta +22
We present the in-lab and on-sky performance for the upgraded 90 GHz focal plane of the Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS), which had four of its seven detector wafers…
CLASS Observations of Atmospheric Cloud Polarization at Millimeter Wavelengths
Yunyang Li, John W. Appel, Charles L. Bennett +21
The dynamic atmosphere imposes challenges to ground-based cosmic microwave background observation, especially for measurements on large angular scales. The hydrometeors in the atmo…
Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS): 90 GHz Telescope Pointing, Beam Profile, Window Function, and Polarization Performance
Rahul Datta, Michael K. Brewer, Jullianna Denes Couto +31
The Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) is a telescope array that observes the cosmic microwave background (CMB) over ~75% of the sky from the Atacama Desert, Chile, at…
On-sky performance of new 90 GHz detectors for the Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS)
Carolina Núñez, John W. Appel, Michael K. Brewer +18
The Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) is a polarization-sensitive telescope array located at an altitude of 5,200 m in the Chilean Atacama Desert and designed to measu…
Construction of a Large Diameter Reflective Half-Wave Plate Modulator for Millimeter Wave Applications
Joseph R. Eimer, Michael K. Brewer, David T. Chuss +14
Polarization modulation is a powerful technique to increase the stability of measurements by enabling the distinction of a polarized signal from dominant slow system drifts and unp…
