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…
The Simons Observatory: On-sky performance of radio-transparent multi-layer insulation (RT-MLI) using Styroace-II Styrofoam
Samuel Day-Weiss, Nicholas Galitzki, Atsuto Takeuchi +14
We present the on-sky performance of a Radio-Transparent Multi-Layer Insulation filter (RT-MLI) that uses Styroace-II styrofoam to reject ambient thermal radiation from entering a…
The Simons Observatory: Detector Polarization Angle Calibration using Sparse Wire Grid with Initial Data Sets of the Small Aperture Telescope
Hironobu Nakata, Shunsuke Adachi, Kyohei Yamada +22
Improved measurements of -modes in the cosmic microwave background can be obtained through accurate calibration of the orientation of detector antennas as projected onto the sky…
Optimization procedure of the baffle of the GroundBIRD Telescope to mitigate stray light
