KID Detector Readout Electronics Development for Habitable Worlds Observatory
Sean Bryan, Hugh Barnaby, Oketa Basha +15
We present the status and goals of the readout electronics system we are developing to support the detector arrays in the coronagraph instrument on the NASA Habitable Worlds Observ…
The Simons Observatory: Science Goals and Forecasts for the Enhanced Large Aperture Telescope
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, M. Abitbol, I. Abril-Cabezas +419
We describe updated scientific goals for the wide-field, millimeter-wave survey that will be produced by the Simons Observatory (SO). Significant upgrades to the 6-meter SO Large A…
Characterization of a Far-Infrared Kinetic Inductance Detector Prototype for PRIMA
Steven Hailey-Dunsheath, Sven van Berkel, Andrew E. Beyer +10
The PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) is under study as a potential far-IR space mission, featuring actively cooled optics, and both imaging and spectroscopic ins…
Metal-Mesh Linear Variable Filter for Far-Infrared Wavelengths
Joanna Perido, Kevin Denis, Sean O. Clancy +7
Future far-infrared (IR) observatories require compact and cost efficient optical linear variable bandpass filters (LVBFs) to define their instrument spectral bands. We have design…
Development of an ultra-sensitive 210-micron array of KIDs for far-IR astronomy
Elijah Kane, Chris Albert, Nicholas Cothard +13
The Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) is a proposed space observatory which will use arrays of thousands of kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) to perform low- an…
Monolithic Kilopixel Silicon Microlens Arrays for Future Far-Infrared Observatories
Nicholas F. Cothard, Thomas Stevenson, Jennette Mateo +6
Future far-infrared astrophysics observatories will require focal plane arrays containing thousands of ultra-sensitive, superconducting detectors, each of which needs to be optical…
