Foreground-Induced Biases in CMB Polarimeter Self-Calibration
M. H. Abitbol, J. C. Hill, B. R. Johnson
Precise polarisation measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) require accurate knowledge of the instrument orientation relative to the sky frame used to define the cos…
Photon noise from chaotic and coherent millimeter-wave sources measured with horn-coupled, aluminum lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors
Daniel Flanigan, Heather McCarrick, Glenn Jones +18
We report photon-noise limited performance of horn-coupled, aluminum lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors at millimeter wavelengths. The detectors are illuminated by a milli…
WSPEC: A waveguide filter-bank focal plane array spectrometer for millimeter wave astronomy and cosmology
Sean Bryan, James Aguirre, George Che +9
Imaging and spectroscopy at (sub-)millimeter wavelengths are key frontiers in astronomy and cosmology. Large area spectral surveys with moderate spectral resolution (R=50-200) will…
A CubeSat for Calibrating Ground-Based and Sub-Orbital Millimeter-Wave Polarimeters (CalSat)
Bradley R. Johnson, Clement J. Vourch, Timothy D. Drysdale +4
We describe a low-cost, open-access, CubeSat-based calibration instrument that is designed to support ground-based and sub-orbital experiments searching for various polarization si…
WSPEC: A Waveguide Filter Bank Spectrometer
George Che, Sean Bryan, Matthew Underhill +7
We have designed, fabricated, and measured a 5-channel prototype spectrometer pixel operating in the WR10 band to demonstrate a novel moderate-resolution (R=f/Δf~100), multi-pixel,…
Design of Dual-Polarization Horn-Coupled Kinetic Inductance Detectors for Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimetry
Sean Bryan, Kristi Bradford, George Che +10
Mapping the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background is yielding exciting data on the origin of the universe, the reionization of the universe, and the growth of cosmic stru…
