Large Synoptic Survey Telescope: Dark Energy Science Collaboration
LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration
This white paper describes the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC), whose goal is the study of dark energy and related topics in fundamental physics with data from the La…
Performance and on-sky optical characterization of the SPTpol instrument
E. M. George, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +62
In January 2012, the 10m South Pole Telescope (SPT) was equipped with a polarization-sensitive camera, SPTpol, in order to measure the polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwa…
Feedhorn-coupled TES polarimeter camera modules at 150 GHz for CMB polarization measurements with SPTpol
J. W. Henning, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +58
The SPTpol camera is a dichroic polarimetric receiver at 90 and 150 GHz. Deployed in January 2012 on the South Pole Telescope (SPT), SPTpol is looking for faint polarization signal…
Design and characterization of 90 GHz feedhorn-coupled TES polarimeter pixels in the SPTpol camera
J. T. Sayre, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +58
The SPTpol camera is a two-color, polarization-sensitive bolometer receiver, and was installed on the 10 meter South Pole Telescope in January 2012. SPTpol is designed to study the…
South Pole Telescope Software Systems: Control, Monitoring, and Data Acquisition
K. Story, E. Leitch, P. Ade +64
We present the software system used to control and operate the South Pole Telescope. The South Pole Telescope is a 10-meter millimeter-wavelength telescope designed to measure anis…
High-Redshift Cool-Core Galaxy Clusters Detected via the Sunyaev--Zel'dovich Effect in the South Pole Telescope Survey
D. R. Semler, R. Šuhada, K. A. Aird +76
We report the first investigation of cool-core properties of galaxy clusters selected via their Sunyaev--Zel'dovich (SZ) effect. We use 13 galaxy clusters uniformly selected from 1…
