An Open Source, FPGA-based LeKID readout for BLAST-TNG: Pre-flight Results

Samuel Gordon, Bradley Dober, Adrian Sinclair +17

We present a highly frequency multiplexed readout for large-format superconducting detector arrays intended for use in the next generation of balloon-borne and space-based sub-mill…

Instrumental performance and results from testing of the BLAST-TNG receiver, submillimeter optics, and MKID arrays

Nicholas Galitzki, Peter Ade, Francesco E. Angile +39

Polarized thermal emission from interstellar dust grains can be used to map magnetic fields in star forming molecular clouds and the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM). The Balloon-…

A deep ALMA image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field

J. S. Dunlop, R. J. McLure, A. D. Biggs +33

We present the results of the first, deep ALMA imaging covering the full 4.5 sq arcmin of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) as previously imaged with WFC3/IR on HST. Using a mosai…
