Thermal architecture for a cryogenic super-pressure balloon payload: design and development of the Taurus flight cryostat
Simon Tartakovsky, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +20
We describe the cryogenic system being developed for Taurus: a super-pressure balloon-borne microwave polarimeter scheduled to fly in 2027. The Taurus cryogenic system consists of…
Vector beam mapping at millimeter wavelengths using a robot arm
Rustam Balafendiev, Thomas Gascard, Jon E. Gudmundsson
Many experimental efforts are striving to provide deep maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) to shed light on key questions in modern cosmology. The primary science goal fo…
Instrument Overview of Taurus: A Balloon-borne CMB and Dust Polarization Experiment
Jared L. May, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +20
Taurus is a balloon-borne cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment optimized to map the E-mode polarization and Galactic foregrounds at the largest angular scales ( …
Reflectance measurements of mm-wave absorbers using frequency-domain continuous wave THz spectroscopy
Gaganpreet Singh, Rustam Balafendiev, Zeshen Bao +4
Due to high dynamic range and ease of use, continuous wave terahertz spectroscopy is an increasingly popular method for optical characterization of components used in cosmic microw…
Thermal and mechanical study of a parametrised cryostat model for optical characterisation of upcoming CMB experiments
Thomas J. L. J. Gascard, Yi Wang, Jon E. Gudmundsson +6
Current and future experiments observing the cosmic microwave background require a detailed understanding of optical performance at cryogenic temperatures. Pre-deployment analysis…
Modeling optical systematics for the Taurus CMB experiment
Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann, Steven J. Benton +16
We simulate a variety of optical systematics for Taurus, a balloon-borne cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarisation experiment, to assess their impact on large-scale E-mode pol…
