Calibration strategy for the SPICA/SAFARI instrument
Russell F. Shipman, Bart Vandenbussche, Edgar Castillo-Dominguez +3
SPICA is a mid to far infra-red space mission to explore the processes that form galaxies, stars and planets. SPICA/SAFARI is the far infrared spectrometer that provides near-backg…
Antenna-coupled TES bolometers used in BICEP2, Keck array, and SPIDER
P. A. R. Ade, R. W. Aikin, M. Amiri +64
We have developed antenna-coupled transition-edge sensor (TES) bolometers for a wide range of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarimetry experiments, including BICEP2, Keck Arra…
BICEP2 III: Instrumental Systematics
BICEP2 Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, R. W. Aikin +42
In a companion paper we have reported a detection of degree scale -mode polarization at 150 GHz by the BICEP2 experiment. Here we provide a detailed study of potential in…
BICEP2/Keck Array IV: Optical Characterization and Performance of the BICEP2 and Keck Array Experiments
The BICEP2, Keck Array Collaborations, : +51
BICEP2 and the Keck Array are polarization-sensitive microwave telescopes that observe the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from the South Pole at degree angular scales in search…
BICEP2 and Keck Array operational overview and status of observations
R. W. Ogburn, P. A. R. Ade, R. W. Aikin +50
The BICEP2 and Keck Array experiments are designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on angular scales of 2-4 degrees (l=50-100). This is the reg…
The Keck Array: a pulse tube cooled CMB polarimeter
C. D. Sheehy, P. A. R. Ade, R. W. Aikin +41
The Keck Array is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarimeter that will begin observing from the South Pole in late 2010. The initial deployment will consist of three telescope…
