Forecasting the cross correlation of Terahertz Intensity Mapper [CII] line intensity maps with Euclid galaxies
Justin S. Bracks, Ryan P. Keenan, Shubh Agrawal +24
We forecast that the Terahertz Intensity Mapper (TIM) cross-correlated with Euclid's Fornax deep field (EDF-F), TIMEDF-F, will detect the [CII]-galaxy cross-power spectrum…
Pivot-Only Azimuthal Control and Attitude Estimation of Balloon-borne Payloads
Philippe Voyer, Simon Tartakovsky, Steven J. Benton +1
This paper presents an attitude estimation and yaw-rate control framework for balloon-borne payloads using pivot-only actuation, motivated by the Taurus experiment. Taurus is a lon…
HK: a modular housekeeping system for cryostats and balloon payloads
Simon Tartakovsky, Steven J. Benton, Aurelien A. Fraisse +5
HK is a versatile experiment housekeeping (HK) system designed to perform cryogenic temperature readout and heater control on the upcoming Taurus balloon experiment. HK, more…
Thermal architecture for a cryogenic super-pressure balloon payload: design and development of the Taurus flight cryostat
Simon Tartakovsky, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +20
We describe the cryogenic system being developed for Taurus: a super-pressure balloon-borne microwave polarimeter scheduled to fly in 2027. The Taurus cryogenic system consists of…
