The Simons Observatory: Overview of the Cryogenic Half-wave Plate Polarization Modulators
Junna Sugiyama, Kyohei Yamada, Bryce Bixler +5
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground-based Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiment that is located in the Atacama plateau. The Small Aperture Telescopes (SATs) of SO are op…
The Simons Observatory: Rotation Performance of Cryogenic Half-Wave Plate Polarization Modulators
Kyohei Yamada, Bryce Bixler, Junna Sugiyama +9
We present the on-site rotation performance of the first three cryogenic continuously rotating half-wave plate (HWP) polarization modulators for the Simons Observatory small apertu…
The Simons Observatory: Detector Polarization Angle Calibration using Sparse Wire Grid with Initial Data Sets of the Small Aperture Telescope
Hironobu Nakata, Shunsuke Adachi, Kyohei Yamada +22
Improved measurements of -modes in the cosmic microwave background can be obtained through accurate calibration of the orientation of detector antennas as projected onto the sky…
The Simons Observatory: Large Diameter and Large Load-Capacity Superconducting Magnetic Bearing for a Millimeter-Wave Polarization Modulator
Daichi Sasaki, Junna Sugiyama, Kyohei Yamada +5
We present the design methodology and characterization of a superconducting magnetic bearing (SMB) system for the polarization modulator in the SAT-LF, one of the small aperture te…
The Simons Observatory: Science Goals and Forecasts for the Enhanced Large Aperture Telescope
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, M. Abitbol, I. Abril-Cabezas +419
We describe updated scientific goals for the wide-field, millimeter-wave survey that will be produced by the Simons Observatory (SO). Significant upgrades to the 6-meter SO Large A…
The Simons Observatory: Design, integration, and testing of the small aperture telescopes
Nicholas Galitzki, Tran Tsan, Jake Spisak +77
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment that includes small-aperture telescopes (SATs) observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Ata…
