BICEP/Keck XXII: Analysis of the South Pole Atmosphere for CMB Observations
P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri +92
The South Pole is among the driest sites on Earth, and the resulting high atmospheric transparency makes it an excellent site for millimeter-wave astronomical observations. Neverth…
Improved Absolute Polarization Calibrator for BICEP CMB Polarimeters
A. R. Polish, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +89
Cosmic birefringence is a hypothesized parity violation in electromagnetism that predicts a frequency-independent polarization rotation as light propagates. This would rotate the l…

Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +94
We present component-separated polarization maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and Galactic thermal dust emission, derived using data from the BICEP/Keck experiments thr…
BICEP/Keck XIX: Extremely Thin Composite Polymer Vacuum Windows for BICEP and Other High Throughput Millimeter Wave Telescopes
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +90
Millimeter-wave refracting telescopes targeting the degree-scale structure of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have recently grown to diffraction-limited apertures of over 0.5…
BICEP/Keck XVIII: Measurement of BICEP3 polarization angles and consequences for constraining cosmic birefringence and inflation
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83

Keck Collaboration, Y. Nakato, P. A. R. Ade +82
Measurements of B-mode polarization in the CMB sourced from primordial gravitational waves would provide information on the energy scale of inflation and its potential form. To ach…
Analysis of Polarized Dust Emission Using Data from the First Flight of SPIDER
SPIDER Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +67
Using data from the first flight of SPIDER and from Planck HFI, we probe the properties of polarized emission from interstellar dust in the SPIDER observing region. Component separ…
Constraining Inflation with the BICEP/Keck CMB Polarization Experiments
Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +84
The BICEP/ (BK) series of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiments has, over the past decade and a half, produced a series of field-leading constra…
Results and Limits of Time Division Multiplexing for the BICEP Array High Frequency Receivers
S. Fatigoni, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +84
Time-Division Multiplexing is the readout architecture of choice for many ground and space experiments, as it is a very mature technology with proven outstanding low-frequency nois…
