The Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST): enabling large-scale sub-mm science beyond 2030
Claudia Cicone, Tony Mroczkowski, Evanthia Hatziminaoglou +38
AtLAST is designed to be the largest (sub-)mm single-dish astronomical observatory and the first climate-neutral modern research infrastructure. It offers a unique combination of l…
Development of TIFUUN: Terahertz Integral Field Units with Universal Nanotechnology
Akira Endo, Tom J. L. C. Bakx, Jochem J. A. Baselmans +50
TIFUUN (THz Integral Field Units with Universal Nanotechnology) is an ultra-wideband mm-submm wave imaging spectrometer that capitalizes on the highly scalable integrated supercond…
Enhanced electron-beam lithography to reduce the frequency scatter of 200-400 GHz superconducting microstrip resonators for on-chip filterbank spectrometers
L. G. G. Olde Scholtenhuis, D. J. Thoen, J. J. A. Baselmans +4
Integrated superconducting spectrometers (ISSs) provide the instantaneous bandwidth, sensitivity, and scalable architecture for large-scale spectroscopic surveys in submillimeter-w…
Advances in the Fabrication of On-chip Superconducting Integral Field Units for CMB and Line-Intensity Astronomy
L. G. G. Olde Scholtenhuis, D. Perez Capelo, K. Karatsu +7
Studying the polarization and spectral distortion of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) in tandem with intensity fluctuations of the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) allows us t…
A High Efficiency Superconducting On-chip Filterbank with Directional Filters for Integral Field Units in the Sub-millimeter Regime
Louis H. Marting, Kenichi Karatsu, Leon G. G. Olde Scholtenhuis +8
Integrated superconducting spectrometers are developing to the point that they are enabling integral field units, providing large area spectral mapping capabilities for astronomy i…
Silicon-based vacuum window for millimeter and submillimeter-wave astrophysics
Ryota Takaku, Scott Cray, Kosuke Aizawa +7
We designed, fabricated, and characterized the properties of a silicon-based vacuum window suitable for millimeter-wave astrophysical applications. The window, which has a diameter…
