An upgraded frequency-selectable laser source (FLS) calibrator for CMB bandpass characterization
Lauren J. Saunders, Sara M. Simon, Shreya Sutariya +4
One of the biggest challenges for Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments comes from the uncertainty in instrument bandpass calibration. Uncertainties in bandpass can limit f…
The Simons Observatory: Design, integration, and testing of the small aperture telescopes
Nicholas Galitzki, Tran Tsan, Jake Spisak +77
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment that includes small-aperture telescopes (SATs) observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Ata…
The Simons Observatory: Antenna control software integration and implementation
Lauren J. Saunders, Matthew Hasselfield, Brian J. Koopman +1
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground-based cosmic microwave background survey experiment that consists of three 0.5 m small-aperture telescopes and one 6 m large-aperture telesc…
Snowmass 2021 CMB-S4 White Paper
Kevork Abazajian, Arwa Abdulghafour, Graeme E. Addison +353
This Snowmass 2021 White Paper describes the Cosmic Microwave Background Stage 4 project CMB-S4, which is designed to cross critical thresholds in our understanding of the origin a…
The Simons Observatory Large Aperture Telescope Receiver
Ningfeng Zhu, Tanay Bhandarkar, Gabriele Coppi +68
The Simons Observatory (SO) Large Aperture Telescope Receiver (LATR) will be coupled to the Large Aperture Telescope located at an elevation of 5,200 m on Cerro Toco in Chile. The…
The Simons Observatory: Overview of data acquisition, control, monitoring, and computer infrastructure
Brian J. Koopman, Jack Lashner, Lauren J. Saunders +16
The Simons Observatory (SO) is an upcoming polarized cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment with three small-aperture telescopes and one large-aperture telescope that…
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…
Design and Bolometer Characterization of the SPT-3G First-year Focal Plane
W. Everett, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +73
During the austral summer of 2016-17, the third-generation camera, SPT-3G, was installed on the South Pole Telescope, increasing the detector count in the focal plane by an order o…
Optical Characterization of the SPT-3G Focal Plane
Zhaodi Pan, Peter Ade, Zeeshan Ahmed +73
The third-generation South Pole Telescope camera is designed to measure the cosmic microwave background across three frequency bands (95, 150 and 220 GHz) with ~16,000 transition-e…
