The Next Generation BLAST Experiment
Nicholas Galitzki, Peter A. R. Ade, Francesco E. Angilè +38
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol) was a suborbital experiment designed to map magnetic fields in order to study their role in star…
Attitude determination for balloon-borne experiments
N. N. Gandilo, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +64
An attitude determination system for balloon-borne experiments is presented. The system provides pointing information in azimuth and elevation for instruments flying on stratospher…
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry-BLASTPol: Performance and results from the 2012 Antarctic flight
N. Galitzki, P. A. R. Ade, F. E. Angilé +22
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol) is a suborbital mapping experiment, designed to study the role played by magnetic fields in the…
SPT-3G: A Next-Generation Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization Experiment on the South Pole Telescope
B. A. Benson, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +61
We describe the design of a new polarization sensitive receiver, SPT-3G, for the 10-meter South Pole Telescope (SPT). The SPT-3G receiver will deliver a factor of ~20 improvement i…
Thermal design and performance of the balloon-borne large aperture submillimeter telescope for polarimetry BLASTPol
J. D. Soler, P. A. R. Ade, F. E. Angilè +25
We present the thermal model of the Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol). This instrument was successfully flown in two circumpolar fligh…
Pre-flight integration and characterization of the SPIDER balloon-borne telescope
A. S. Rahlin, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +45
We present the results of integration and characterization of the SPIDER instrument after the 2013 pre-flight campaign. SPIDER is a balloon-borne polarimeter designed to probe the…
The Primordial Inflation Polarization Explorer (PIPER)
Justin Lazear, Peter A. R. Ade, Dominic Benford +25
The Primordial Inflation Polarization Explorer (PIPER) is a balloon-borne cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarimeter designed to search for evidence of inflation by measuring th…
BLASTbus electronics: general-purpose readout and control for balloon-borne experiments
S. J. Benton, P. A. Ade, M. Amiri +66
We present the second generation BLASTbus electronics. The primary purposes of this system are detector readout, attitude control, and cryogenic housekeeping, for balloon-borne tel…
Design and construction of a carbon fiber gondola for the SPIDER balloon-borne telescope
J. D. Soler, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +44
We introduce the light-weight carbon fiber and aluminum gondola designed for the SPIDER balloon-borne telescope. SPIDER is designed to measure the polarization of the Cosmic Microw…
