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…
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…
