Studies of Systematic Uncertainties for Simons Observatory: Optical Effects and Sensitivity Considerations
Patricio A. Gallardo, Jon Gudmundsson, Brian J. Koopman +32
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a new experiment that aims to measure the cosmic microwave background (CMB) in temperature and polarization. SO will measure the polarized sky over a…
The Simons Observatory: Instrument Overview
Nicholas Galitzki, Aamir Ali, Kam S. Arnold +75
The Simons Observatory (SO) will make precise temperature and polarization measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) using a set of telescopes which will cover angular…
The optical design of the six-meter CCAT-prime and Simons Observatory telescopes
Stephen C. Parshley, Michael D. Niemack, Richard Hills +13
A common optical design for a coma-corrected, 6-meter aperture, crossed-Dragone telescope has been adopted for the CCAT-prime telescope of CCAT Observatory, Inc., and for the Large…
CCAT-prime: a novel telescope for submillimeter astronomy
Stephen C. Parshley, Jörg Kronshage, James Blair +28
The CCAT-prime telescope is a 6-meter aperture, crossed-Dragone telescope, designed for millimeter and sub-millimeter wavelength observations. It will be located at an altitude of…
Optimizing the Efficiency of Fabry-Perot Interferometers with Silicon-Substrate Mirrors
Nicholas F. Cothard, Mahiro Abe, Thomas Nikola +8
We present the novel design of microfabricated, silicon-substrate based mirrors for use in cryogenic Fabry-Perot Interferometers (FPIs) for the mid-IR to sub-mm/mm wavelength regim…
Prime-Cam: A first-light instrument for the CCAT-prime telescope
Eve M. Vavagiakis, Zeeshan Ahmed, Aamir Ali +43
CCAT-prime will be a 6-meter aperture telescope operating from sub-mm to mm wavelengths, located at 5600 meters elevation on Cerro Chajnantor in the Atacama Desert in Chile. Its no…
