CLASS Observations of Atmospheric Cloud Polarization at Millimeter Wavelengths
Yunyang Li, John W. Appel, Charles L. Bennett +21
The dynamic atmosphere imposes challenges to ground-based cosmic microwave background observation, especially for measurements on large angular scales. The hydrometeors in the atmo…
Construction of a Large Diameter Reflective Half-Wave Plate Modulator for Millimeter Wave Applications
Joseph R. Eimer, Michael K. Brewer, David T. Chuss +14
Polarization modulation is a powerful technique to increase the stability of measurements by enabling the distinction of a polarized signal from dominant slow system drifts and unp…
Design and characterization of new 90 GHz detectors for the Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS)
Carolina Núñez, John W. Appel, Sarah Marie Bruno +20
The Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) is a polarization-sensitive telescope array located at an altitude of 5,200 m in the Chilean Atacama Desert. CLASS is designed to…
Long-Timescale Stability in CMB Observations at Multiple Frequencies using Front-End Polarization Modulation
Joseph Cleary, Rahul Datta, John W. Appel +17
The Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) is a telescope array observing the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at frequency bands centered near 40, 90, 150, and 220 GHz. C…
Neural Annotation Refinement: Development of a New 3D Dataset for Adrenal Gland Analysis
Jiancheng Yang, Rui Shi, Udaranga Wickramasinghe +3
The human annotations are imperfect, especially when produced by junior practitioners. Multi-expert consensus is usually regarded as golden standard, while this annotation protocol…
