Development and characterization of a millimeter-wave circular polarization observation method using a quarter-wave plate with Simons Array
Kana Sakaguri, Darcy R. Barron, Yuji Chinone +17
We have developed and demonstrated a method for measuring circular polarization at 90 GHz by combining a quarter-wave plate (QWP) and a continuously rotating half-wave plate (HWP).…
The Simons Observatory: Commissioning of the Mid-Frequency Small Aperture Telescopes
Kathleen Harrington, Remington Gerras, Nicholas Galitzki +88
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The SO Small Aperture Tel…
The Simons Observatory: On-sky performance of radio-transparent multi-layer insulation (RT-MLI) using Styroace-II Styrofoam
Samuel Day-Weiss, Nicholas Galitzki, Atsuto Takeuchi +14
We present the on-sky performance of a Radio-Transparent Multi-Layer Insulation filter (RT-MLI) that uses Styroace-II styrofoam to reject ambient thermal radiation from entering a…
