The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Component-separated maps of CMB temperature and the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect
Mathew S. Madhavacheril, J. Colin Hill, Sigurd Naess +51
Optimal analyses of many signals in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) require map-level extraction of individual components in the microwave sky, rather than measurements at th…
Sub-Kelvin cooling for two kilopixel bolometer arrays in the PIPER receiver
E. R. Switzer, P. A. R. Ade, T. Baildon +30
The Primordial Inflation Polarization Explorer (PIPER) is a balloon-borne telescope mission to search for inflationary gravitational waves from the early universe. PIPER employs tw…
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…
The Simons Observatory: Instrument Overview
Nicholas Galitzki, Aamir Ali, Kam S. Arnold +75
The Simons Observatory (SO) will make precise temperature and polarization measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) using a set of telescopes which will cover angular…
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…
