Automated analysis of the visual properties of superconducting detectors
K. R. Ferguson, A. N. Bender, N. Whitehorn +4
The testing and quality assurance of cryogenic superconducting detectors is a time- and labor-intensive process. As experiments deploy increasingly larger arrays of detectors, new…
Pointing Accuracy Improvements for the South Pole Telescope with Machine Learning
P. M. Chichura, A. Rahlin, A. J. Anderson +93
We present improvements to the pointing accuracy of the South Pole Telescope (SPT) using machine learning. The ability of the SPT to point accurately at the sky is limited by its s…
Development of an MKID frequency-to-pixel LED mapper for SPT-3G+
E. S. Martsen, P. S. Barry, B. A. Benson +5
SPT-3G+ is the next-generation camera for the South Pole Telescope (SPT). SPT is designed to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the mm/sub-mm sky. The planned focal…
Detection of Thermal Emission at Millimeter Wavelengths from Low-Earth Orbit Satellites
A. Foster, A. Chokshi, A. J. Anderson +88
The detection of artificial satellite thermal emission at millimeter wavelengths is presented using data from the 3rd-Generation receiver on the South Pole Telescope (SPT-3G). This…
