Inverting and Up-channelizing Critically-Sampled Polyphase Filter Banks
Stephen Fay, Mohan Agrawal, Hsin Cynthia Chiang +3
Polyphase filter banks (PFBs) are widely used to channelize digitized time-domain data in real time. However, applications such as radio astronomy often require higher spectral res…
Multi-sensor fusion for fine-guidance and milliarcsecond-level attitude estimation of balloon-borne telescope
Philippe Voyer, Maya Amit, Steven J. Benton +44
Balloon-borne telescopes rely on fine-guidance systems to achieve milliarcsecond image stability despite residual disturbances from the balloon environment. In these systems, the F…
picoMUX: microcontroller based time-domain multiplexing readout for kilopixel TES arrays
Simon Tartakovsky, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +23
Advances in cryogenic SQUID-based time-domain multiplexing (TDM) have outpaced their warm readout electronics. Next generation CMB telescopes are baselining kilopixel TES arrays wi…
Sub-Kelvin Cryogenics for a Super-Pressure Balloon-Borne CMB Polarimeter: Taurus
Jared L. May, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +23
Taurus is a balloon-borne cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment designed to operate more than 10,000 transition-edge sensor bolometers at a base temperature near 100 mK duri…
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…
In-Flight Performance of Spider's 280 GHz Receivers
Elle C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +84
SPIDER is a balloon-borne instrument designed to map the cosmic microwave background at degree-angular scales in the presence of Galactic foregrounds. SPIDER has mapped a large sky…
Instrument Overview of Taurus: A Balloon-borne CMB and Dust Polarization Experiment
Jared L. May, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +20
Taurus is a balloon-borne cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment optimized to map the E-mode polarization and Galactic foregrounds at the largest angular scales ( …
Modeling optical systematics for the Taurus CMB experiment
Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann, Steven J. Benton +16
We simulate a variety of optical systematics for Taurus, a balloon-borne cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarisation experiment, to assess their impact on large-scale E-mode pol…
