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…
TIME Commissioning Observations: I. Mapping Dust and Molecular Gas in the Sgr A Molecular Cloud Complex at the Galactic Center
Selina F. Yang, Sophie M. McAtee, Benjamin J. Vaughan +24
We present the processing of an observation of Sagittarius A (Sgr A) with the Tomographic Ionized-carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME), part of the 2021-2022 commissioning run to verif…
TES Bolometer Design and Testing for the Tomographic Ionized-carbon Mapping Experiment Millimeter Array
Victoria L. Butler, James J. Bock, Dongwoo T. Chung +7
Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometers are a well-established technology with a strong track record in experimental cosmology, making them ideal for current and future radio astro…
