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…
Calibration Measurements of the BICEP3 and BICEP Array CMB Polarimeters from 2017 to 2024
Christos Giannakopoulos, Clara Vergès, P. A. R. Ade +83
The BICEP3 and BICEP Array polarimeters are small-aperture refracting telescopes located at the South Pole designed to measure primordial gravitational wave signatures in the Cosmi…
2017 upgrade and performance of BICEP3: a 95GHz refracting telescope for degree-scale CMB polarization
Jae Hwan Kang, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +74
BICEP3 is a 520mm aperture on-axis refracting telescope observing the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at 95GHz in search of the B-mode signal originating from…
