An On-Sky Atmospheric Calibration of SPT-SLIM
K. R. Dibert, M. Adamic, A. J. Anderson +26
We present the methodology and results of the on-sky responsivity calibration of the South Pole Telescope Shirokoff Line Intensity Mapper (SPT-SLIM). SPT-SLIM is a pathfinder line…
Design and Performance of the SPT-SLIM Receiver Cryostat
M. R. Young, M. Adamic, A. J. Anderson +28
The South Pole Telescope Shirokoff Line Intensity Mapper (SPT-SLIM) is a millimeter-wavelength line-intensity mapping experiment, which was deployed on the South Pole Telescope (SP…
Detection of Millimeter-Wavelength Flares from Two Accreting White Dwarf Systems in the SPT-3G Galactic Plane Survey
Y. Wan, J. D. Vieira, P. M. Chichura +96
Blind discoveries of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) transient events in non-targeted surveys, as opposed to follow-up or pointed observations, have only become possible in the past deca…
Constraints on Inflationary Gravitational Waves with Two Years of SPT-3G Data
J. A. Zebrowski, C. L. Reichardt, A. J. Anderson +95
We present a measurement of the -mode polarization power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background anisotropies at 32 502 for three bands centered at 95, 150,…
The SPT-Deep Cluster Catalog: Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Selected Clusters from Combined SPT-3G and SPTpol Measurements over 100 Square Degrees
K. Kornoelje, L. E. Bleem, E. S. Rykoff +191
We present a catalog of 500 galaxy cluster candidates in the SPT-Deep field: a 100 deg field that combines data from the SPT-3G and SPTpol surveys to reach noise levels of 3.0,…
Pointing Accuracy Improvements for the South Pole Telescope with Machine Learning
P. M. Chichura, A. Rahlin, A. J. Anderson +93
We present improvements to the pointing accuracy of the South Pole Telescope (SPT) using machine learning. The ability of the SPT to point accurately at the sky is limited by its s…
