In-Flight Performance of Spider's 280 GHz Receivers
Elle C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +84
SPIDER is a balloon-borne instrument designed to map the cosmic microwave background at degree-angular scales in the presence of Galactic foregrounds. SPIDER has mapped a large sky…
Analysis of Polarized Dust Emission Using Data from the First Flight of SPIDER
SPIDER Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +67
Using data from the first flight of SPIDER and from Planck HFI, we probe the properties of polarized emission from interstellar dust in the SPIDER observing region. Component separ…
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…
In-flight gain monitoring of SPIDER's transition-edge sensor arrays
J. P. Filippini, A. E. Gambrel, A. S. Rahlin +67
Experiments deploying large arrays of transition-edge sensors (TESs) often require a robust method to monitor gain variations with minimal loss of observing time. We propose a sens…
A Simulation-Based Method for Correcting Mode Coupling in CMB Angular Power Spectra
J. S. -Y. Leung, J. Hartley, J. M. Nagy +67
Modern CMB analysis pipelines regularly employ complex time-domain filters, beam models, masking, and other techniques during the production of sky maps and their corresponding ang…
A Constraint on Primordial -Modes from the First Flight of the SPIDER Balloon-Borne Telescope
SPIDER Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +68
We present the first linear polarization measurements from the 2015 long-duration balloon flight of SPIDER, an experiment designed to map the polarization of the cosmic microwave b…
Design and pre-flight performance of SPIDER 280 GHz receivers
E. C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +79
In this work we describe upgrades to the Spider balloon-borne telescope in preparation for its second flight, currently planned for December 2021. The Spider instrument is optimize…
Probing Cosmic Reionization and Molecular Gas Growth with TIME
Guochao Sun, Tzu-Ching Chang, Bade D. Uzgil +23
Line intensity mapping (LIM) provides a unique and powerful means to probe cosmic structures by measuring the aggregate line emission from all galaxies across redshift. The method…
280 GHz Focal Plane Unit Design and Characterization for the SPIDER-2 Suborbital Polarimeter
A. S. Bergman, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +76
We describe the construction and characterization of the 280 GHz bolometric focal plane units (FPUs) to be deployed on the second flight of the balloon-borne SPIDER instrument. The…
Low Noise Titanium Nitride KIDs for SuperSpec: A Millimeter-Wave On-Chip Spectrometer
S. Hailey-Dunsheath, E. Shirokoff, P. S. Barry +17
SuperSpec is a novel on-chip spectrometer we are developing for multi-object, moderate resolution (R = 100 - 500), large bandwidth (~1.65:1) submillimeter and millimeter survey spe…
