Improved constraints on cosmic microwave background secondary anisotropies from the complete 2008 South Pole Telescope data
E. Shirokoff, C. L. Reichardt, L. Shaw +43
We report measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum from the complete 2008 South Pole Telescope (SPT) data set. We analyze twice as much data as the firs…
The new generation CMB B-mode polarization experiment: POLARBEAR
The Polarbear Collaboration, J. Errard, P. A. R. Ade +43
We describe the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization experiment called Polarbear. This experiment will use the dedicated Huan Tran Telescope equipped with a powerful 1,20…
Biasing and Demodulation Firmware for Kilopixel TES Bolometer Arrays
Graeme Smecher, Francois Aubin, Eric Bissonnette +3
We describe the signal-processing firmware and software for a frequency-domain multiplexed (FDM) biasing and demodulation system that reads out Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolomet…
SPT-CL J0546-5345: A Massive z > 1 Galaxy Cluster Selected Via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect with the South Pole Telescope
M. Brodwin, J. Ruel, P. A. R. Ade +64
We report the spectroscopic confirmation of SPT-CL J0546-5345 at <z> = 1.067. To date this is the most distant cluster to be spectroscopically confirmed from the 2008 South Pole Te…
EBEX: A balloon-borne CMB polarization experiment
Britt Reichborn-Kjennerud, Asad M. Aboobaker, Peter Ade +43
EBEX is a NASA-funded balloon-borne experiment designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Observations will be made using 1432 transition edge s…
Software systems for operation, control, and monitoring of the EBEX instrument
Michael Milligan, Peter Ade, François Aubin +35
We present the hardware and software systems implementing autonomous operation, distributed real-time monitoring, and control for the EBEX instrument. EBEX is a NASA-funded balloon…
