The Simons Observatory: Frequency-resolved beam calibration for the SO SATs with POLOCALC

Nadia Dachlythra, Gabriele Coppi, Ludovico Bizzarri +30

We present a far-field beam calibration of the Simons Observatory (SO) Small Aperture Telescopes (SATs) using scanned single-frequency measurements of a drone-mounted source emitti…

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: Beam characterization for the Small Aperture Telescopes

Nadia Dachlythra, Adriaan J. Duivenvoorden, Jon E. Gudmundsson +27

We use time-domain simulations of Jupiter observations to test and develop a beam reconstruction pipeline for the Simons Observatory Small Aperture Telescopes. The method relies on…
