Overview and status of BICEP Array's BA4-90/150 CMB polarimeter
M. A. Petroff, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +83
The inflation paradigm postulates a period of rapid expansion in the early Universe, which would generate gravitational waves. These tensor perturbations would produce a faint B-mo…
Controlling instrumental systematics for the BICEP inflation survey
C. Vergès, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +92
The BICEP series of experiments has been observing CMB polarisation from the South Pole for over 20 years, with the goal of constraining inflationary gravitational waves. The upcom…
The South Pole Telescope AGN Monitoring Campaign: First Release of SPTpol Bright AGN Light Curves
J. C. Hood, P. A. R. Ade, A. J. Anderson +66
The South Pole Telescope (SPT) collaboration has recently embarked upon a campaign to monitor the brightness of a sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN), both in real time and in a…
Measurement of the Full Shape of the Thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich Power Spectrum from South Pole Telescope and {\it Herschel}-SPIRE Observations
S. Raghunathan, P. A. R. Ade, D. Anbajagane +139
We present a measurement of the full shape of the power spectrum of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect down to arcminute scales using cosmic microwave background (CMB) data…
Measurements of the Temperature and E-mode Polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background from the Full 500-square-degree SPTpol Dataset
T. -L. Chou, P. A. R. Ade, A. J. Anderson +59
Using the full four-year SPTpol 500 deg dataset in both the 95 GHz and 150 GHz frequency bands, we present measurements of the temperature and -mode polarization of the cosm…
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,…
