ULTRASAT: A wide-field time-domain UV space telescope
Y. Shvartzvald, E. Waxman, A. Gal-Yam +41
The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) is scheduled to be launched to geostationary orbit in 2026. It will carry a telescope with an unprecedentedly large field o…
The scientific payload of the Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT)
Sagi Ben-Ami, Yossi Shvartzvald, Eli Waxman +45
The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) is a space-borne near UV telescope with an unprecedented large field of view (200 sq. deg.). The mission, led by the Weizma…
The EBEX Balloon Borne Experiment - Detectors and Readout
The EBEX Collaboration, Maximilian Abitbol, Asad M. Aboobaker +37
EBEX was a long-duration balloon-borne experiment to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background. The experiment had three frequency bands centered at 150, 250, and…
Intensity-Coupled-Polarization in Instruments with a Continuously Rotating Half-Wave Plate
Joy Didier, Amber D. Miller, Derek Araujo +31
We discuss a systematic effect associated with measuring polarization with a continuously rotating half-wave plate. The effect was identified with the data from the E and B Experim…
The EBEX Balloon Borne Experiment - Optics, Receiver, and Polarimetry
The EBEX Collaboration, Asad M. Aboobaker, Peter Ade +35
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) was a long-duration balloon-borne cosmic microwave background polarimeter that flew over Antarctica in 2013. We describe the experiment's optical syst…
The EBEX Balloon-Borne Experiment - Gondola, Attitude Control, and Control Software
The EBEX Collaboration, Asad Aboobaker, Peter Ade +33
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) was a long-duration balloon-borne instrument designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. EBEX was the fir…
A high-resolution pointing system for fast scanning platforms: The EBEX example
Joy Didier, Daniel Chapman, Asad Aboobaker +12
The E and B experiment (EBEX) is a balloon-borne telescope designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background with 8' resolution employing a gondola scanning w…
Temperature calibration of the E and B experiment
Francois Aubin, Asad M. Aboobaker, Peter Ade +40
The E and B Experiment (EBEX) is a balloon-borne polarimeter designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation and to characterize the polarization…
Strong Ultraviolet Pulse From a Newborn Type Ia Supernova
Yi Cao, S. R. Kulkarni, D. Andrew Howell +19
Type Ia supernovae are destructive explosions of carbon oxygen white dwarfs. Although they are used empirically to measure cosmological distances, the nature of their progenitors r…
The detection rate of early UV emission from supernovae: A dedicated GALEX/PTF survey and calibrated theoretical estimates
Noam Ganot, Avishay Gal-Yam, Eran O. Ofek +22
The radius and surface composition of an exploding massive star,as well as the explosion energy per unit mass, can be measured using early UV observations of core collapse supernov…
The performance of the bolometer array and readout system during the 2012/2013 flight of the E and B experiment (EBEX)
Kevin MacDermid, Asad M. Aboobaker, Peter Ade +38
EBEX is a balloon-borne telescope designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation. During its eleven day science flight in the Austral Summer of 2…
Science with a wide-field UV transient explorer
I. Sagiv, A. Gal-Yam, E. O. Ofek +11
The time-variable electromagnetic sky has been well-explored at a wide range of wavelengths. Numerous high-energy space missions take advantage of the dark Gamma-ray and X-ray sky…
EBEX: A balloon-borne CMB polarization experiment
Britt Reichborn-Kjennerud, Asad M. Aboobaker, Peter Ade +43
