The Simons Observatory: Beam characterization for the Small Aperture Telescopes
Nadia Dachlythra, Adriaan J. Duivenvoorden, Jon E. Gudmundsson +27
We use time-domain simulations of Jupiter observations to test and develop a beam reconstruction pipeline for the Simons Observatory Small Aperture Telescopes. The method relies on…
