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…
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…
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…
Comparison of Prestellar Core Elongations and Large-Scale Molecular Cloud Structures in the Lupus I Region
F. Poidevin, P. A. R. Ade, F. E. Angile +28
Turbulence and magnetic fields are expected to be important for regulating molecular cloud formation and evolution. However, their effects on subparsec to 100 parsec scales, leadin…
Lupus I Observations from the 2010 Flight of the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry
Tristan G. Matthews, Peter A. R. Ade, Francesco E. Angilè +29
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol) was created by adding polarimetric capability to the BLAST experiment that was flown in 2003, 20…
Empirical modelling of the BLASTPol achromatic half-wave plate for precision submillimetre polarimetry
Lorenzo Moncelsi, Peter Ade, Francesco Elio Angile +18
A cryogenic achromatic half-wave plate (HWP) for submillimetre astronomical polarimetry has been designed, manufactured, tested, and deployed in the Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Su…
