The Simons Observatory: Design and Initial Performance of the Detector Readout System for the Large-Aperture Telescope
Thomas P. Satterthwaite, Tristan Pinsonneault-Marotte, Shawn W. Henderson +34
We present the design, implementation, and initial performance of a highly multiplexed cryogenic superconducting detector readout system in the context of its deployment to the Sim…
The Simons Observatory: Commissioning of the Mid-Frequency Small Aperture Telescopes
Kathleen Harrington, Remington Gerras, Nicholas Galitzki +88
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The SO Small Aperture Tel…
Fast radio burst dispersion is an unbiased tracer of matter on large scales
Shion Andrew, Haochen Wang, Kiyoshi Masui +6
The dispersion of fast radio bursts (FRBs) measures the column density of free electrons, tracing the diffuse ionized gas that contains more than of all baryons. On linear s…
The Simons Observatory: forecasted constraints on primordial gravitational waves with the expanded array of Small Aperture Telescopes
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, I. Abril-Cabezas, S. Adachi +479
We present updated forecasts for the scientific performance of the degree-scale (0.5 deg FWHM at 93 GHz), deep-field survey to be conducted by the Simons Observatory (SO). By 2027,…
The Simons Observatory: Development of a Pipeline to Detect Rapid Transients in Time-Ordered Data
Justin Clancy, Carlo Baccigalupi, Carlo Bacciagalupi +15
We introduce a method for detecting astrophysical transients evolving on timescales of milliseconds to minutes using cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey telescopes. While prev…
