CCAT: Optical Responsivity, Noise, and Readout Optimization of KIDs for Prime-Cam
Eliza Gazda, Quintin Meyers, James R. Burgoyne +18
The Prime-Cam instrument on the Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) at the CCAT Observatory will conduct sensitive millimeter to submillimeter surveys for a range of astrophy…
TIME Commissioning Observations: II. On-sky Characterization and the 2D Map Data Processing Pipeline
Benjamin J. Vaughan, Abigail T. Crites, Dongwoo T. Chung +24
The Tomographic Ionized-carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME) is a line intensity mapping (LIM) instrument that is designed to observe the power spectrum of the [CII] ~m emissi…
Development of a planar cable-driven parallel robot for submillimeter and terahertz beam mapping measurements
Evan C. Mayer, Ian N. Lowe, Daniel P. Marrone +20
The spatial sensitivity pattern of millimeter-wavelength receivers is an important diagnostic of performance and is affected by the alignment of coupling optics. Characterization c…
Measuring the Temperature of Extremely Hot Shock-Heated Gas in the Major Merger MACS J0717.5+3745 With Relativistic Corrections to the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect
Benjamin J. Vaughan, Jack Sayers, Locke Spencer +11
The conversion of gravitational potential to kinetic energy results in an intracluster medium (ICM) gas with a characteristic temperature near 10 keV in the most massive galaxy clu…
CCAT: Magnetic Sensitivity Measurements of Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Benjamin J. Vaughan, Yuhan Wang, Cody J. Duell +16
The CCAT Observatory is a ground-based submillimeter to millimeter experiment located on Cerro Chajnantor in the Atacama Desert, at an altitude of 5,600 meters. CCAT features the 6…
