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…
The SPHEREx Image and Spectrophotometry Processing Pipeline
Rachel Akeson, Gregory P. Dubois-Felsmann, Brendan P. Crill +41
In this paper, we describe the SPHEREx image and spectrophotometry data processing pipeline, an infrastructure and software system designed to produce calibrated spectral images an…
The SPHEREx View of Galaxy Clusters: A Simulation-based Validation of the Forced Photometry Pipeline for Extended Sources
Hyeonguk Bahk, Ho Seong Hwang, Lindsey Bleem +12
We present a simulation-driven assessment of the performance of the SPHEREx pipeline for galaxy cluster science, focusing on photometry, source blending, survey depth, and photomet…
SPHEREx mapping of diffuse PAH and H II emission in the Galactic plane
Giulia Murgia, Ari J. Cukierman, Brandon S. Hensley +29
We present preliminary SPHEREx maps of diffuse Galactic emission tracing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and ionized hydrogen gas, and we study their relationship across th…
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…
Spectral response of SPHEREx
Howard Hui, Jamie Bock, Samuel Condon +31
The Spectro Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer (SPHEREx) is conducting the first all-sky near infrared spectral survey spanning 0.…
