GroundBIRD: First On-Sky Responsivity Calibration at the Teide Observatory
Alessandro Fasano, Yonggil Jo, Ricardo Tanausú Génova-Santos +12
GroundBIRD is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment located at the Teide Observatory (altitude m, Spain) designed to measure large-angular-scale intensity and p…
Optimization procedure of the baffle of the GroundBIRD Telescope to mitigate stray light
Miku Tsujii, Tomonaga Tanaka, Alessandro Fasano +10
We presented the optimization procedures of the baffle mounted on the GroundBIRD telescope for measuring the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background~(CMB). The telescope em…
GroundBIRD Telescope: Systematics Modelization of MKID Arrays Response
Yonggil Jo, Alessandro Fasano, Eunil Won +8
Kinetic inductance detectors are widely used in millimeter- and submillimeter-wave astronomy, benefiting from their fast response and relative ease of fabrication. The GroundBIRD t…
QUIJOTE-TFGI polarization calibration -- Ground characterization and on-sky validation with Tau A and the Moon
Alessandro Fasano, Mateo Fernández-Torreiro, Guillermo Pascual-Cisneros +6
Our objective is to characterize the QUIJOTE Thirty and Forty GHz instrument (TFGI), calibrate it with a reference calibration signal on the ground, compare our results with on-sky…
Commissioning the CMB polarization telescope GroundBIRD with the full set of detectors
Miku Tsujii, Jochem J. A. Baselmans, Jihoon Choi +39
GroundBIRD is a ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment for observing the polarization pattern imprinted on large angular scales ( ) from the Teide Obse…
