Design and Performance of 220 and 270 GHz Bandpass Filters for BICEP Array
A. Steiger, The BICEP/Keck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade +90
The BICEP Array (BA) is the latest in the BICEP/ Keck series of experiments that aim to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) with small aperture polari…
A Millimeter-Wave Photometric Camera for Long-Range Imaging Through Optical Obscurants Using Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Jack Sayers, Daniel Cunnane, Sage Crystian +16
Passive imaging through optical obscurants is a promising application for mm-wave sensing. We have thus developed the Superconducting Kinetic Inductance Passive Radiometer (SKIPR),…
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…
Laminate polyethylene window development for large aperture millimeter receivers
Miranda Eiben, Denis Barkats, Aurelia Balkanski +12
New experiments that target the B-mode polarization signals in the Cosmic Microwave Background require more sensitivity, more detectors, and thus larger-aperture millimeter-wavelen…
CO Line Emission Surfaces and Vertical Structure in Mid-Inclination Protoplanetary Disks
Charles J. Law, Sage Crystian, Richard Teague +18
High spatial resolution CO observations of mid-inclination (30-75°) protoplanetary disks offer an opportunity to study the vertical distribution of CO emission and temperature. The…
