The NIKA instrument: results and perspectives towards a permanent KID based camera for the Pico Veleta observatory
A. D'Addabbo, R. Adam, A. Adane +32
The New IRAM KIDs Array (NIKA) is a pathfinder instrument devoted to millimetric astronomy. In 2009 it was the first multiplexed KID camera on the sky; currently it is installed at…
Niobium Silicon alloys for Kinetic Inductance Detectors
M. Calvo, A. D'Addabbo, A. Monfardini +8
We are studying the properties of Niobium Silicon amorphous alloys as a candidate material for the fabrication of highly sensitive Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID), optimized for…
Detection of the tSZ effect with the NIKA camera
B. Comis, R. Adam, J. F. Macías-Pérez +35
We present the first detection of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect from a cluster of galaxies performed with a KIDs (Kinetic Inductance Detectors) based instrument. The…
Planck intermediate results. XVII. Emission of dust in the diffuse interstellar medium from the far-infrared to microwave frequencies
Planck Collaboration, A. Abergel, P. A. R. Ade +196
The dust-HI correlation is used to characterize the emission properties of dust in the diffuse interstellar medium. We cross-correlate sky maps from Planck, WMAP, and DIRBE, at 17…
Planck 2013 results. XI. All-sky model of thermal dust emission
Planck Collaboration, A. Abergel, P. A. R. Ade +244
This paper presents an all-sky model of dust emission from the Planck 857, 545 and 353 GHz, and IRAS 100 micron data. Using a modified black-body fit to the data we present all-sky…
High speed readout electronics development for frequency-multiplexed kinetic inductance detector design optimization
O. Bourrion, C. Vescovi, A. Catalano +6
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKID) are a promising solution for spaceborne mm-wave astronomy. To optimize their design and make them insensitive to the ballistic phonons…
