The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase
Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279
The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…
Life Cycle Assessment of the Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jürgen Knödlseder +15
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is the high-resolution X-ray spectrometer to fly on board the Athena Space Observatory of the European Space Agency (ESA). It is being develop…
Improved Polarization Calibration of the BICEP3 CMB Polarimeter at the South Pole
J. Cornelison, C. Vergès, P. A. R. Ade +83
The BICEP3 Polarimeter is a small aperture, refracting telescope, dedicated to the observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at 95GHz. It is designed to target degree an…
Thermal Testing for Cryogenic CMB Instrument Optical Design
D. C. Goldfinger, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background rely on cryogenic instrumentation with cold detectors, readout, and optics providing the low noise performance and instrumental stab…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit: a consolidated design for the system requirement review of the preliminary definition phase
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jan-Willem den Herder +296
The Athena X-ray Integral Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer, studied since 2015 for flying in the mid-30s on the Athena space X-ray Observatory, a versatile ob…
B-BOP, the SPICA Imaging Polarimeter
Vincent Revéret, Marc Sauvage, Obaïd Adami +28
We present the B-BOP instrument, a polarimetric camera on board the future ESA-JAXA SPICA far-infrared space observatory. B-BOP will allow the study of the magnetic field in variou…
Polarization Calibration of the BICEP3 CMB polarimeter at the South Pole
J. Cornelison, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +84
The BICEP3 CMB Polarimeter is a small-aperture refracting telescope located at the South Pole and is specifically designed to search for the possible signature of inflationary grav…
BICEP Array cryostat and mount design
M. Crumrine, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +74
Bicep Array is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiment that will begin observing at the South Pole in early 2019. This experiment replaces the five Bicep2 style…
SPICA - a large cryogenic infrared space telescope Unveiling the obscured Universe
P. R. Roelfsema, H. Shibai, L. Armus +66
Measurements in the infrared wavelength domain allow us to assess directly the physical state and energy balance of cool matter in space, thus enabling the detailed study of the va…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) for Athena+
D. Barret, J. W. den Herder, L. Piro +55
The Athena+ mission concept is designed to implement the Hot and Energetic Universe science theme submitted to the European Space Agency in response to the call for White Papers fo…
Absolute polarization angle calibration using polarized diffuse Galactic emission observed by BICEP
Tomotake Matsumura, Peter Ade, Denis Barkats +25
We present a method of cross-calibrating the polarization angle of a polarimeter using BICEP Galactic observations. \bicep\ was a ground based experiment using an array of 49 pairs…
