Polarimetry at millimeter wavelengths with the NIKA camera: calibration and performance
A. Ritacco, N. Ponthieu, A. Catalano +37
Magnetic fields, which play a major role in a large number of astrophysical processes from galactic to cosmological scales, can be traced via observations of dust polarization as d…
Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors for space applications
Alessandro Monfardini, Jochem Baselmans, Alain Benoit +12
Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID) are now routinely used in ground-based telescopes. Large arrays, deployed in formats up to kilopixels, exhibit state-of-the-art performance at mi…
