The EXoplanet Climate Infrared TElescope (EXCITE): A balloon-borne mission to measure spectroscopic phase curves of transiting hot Jupiters
Timothy D. Rehm, Caitlyn Altermatt, Lee Bernard +26
The EXoplanet Climate Infrared TElescope (EXCITE) is a balloon-borne mission dedicated to measuring spectroscopic phase curves of hot Jupiter-type exoplanets. Phase curve measureme…
ECLIPSE: An Evolutionary Computation Library for Instrumentation Prototyping in Scientific Engineering
Max Foreback, Evan Imata, Vincent Ragusa +18
Designing scientific instrumentation often requires exploring large, highly constrained design spaces using computationally expensive physics simulations. These simulators pose sub…
Diamond-loaded polyimide aerogel scattering filters and their applications in astrophysical and planetary science observations
Kyle R. Helson, Carol Yan Yan Chan, Stefan Arseneau +9
Infrared-blocking, aerogel-based scattering filters have a broad range of potential applications in astrophysics and planetary science instruments in the far-infrared, sub-millimet…
A Measurement of the Largest-Scale CMB E-mode Polarization with CLASS
Yunyang Li, Joseph Eimer, John Appel +34
We present measurements of large-scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) E-mode polarization from the Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) 90 GHz data. Using 115 det-yr o…
