Year two instrument status of the SPT-3G cosmic microwave background receiver
A. N. Bender, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +86
The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a millimeter-wavelength telescope designed for high-precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The SPT measures both the tem…
Characterization and performance of the second-year SPT-3G focal plane
D. Dutcher, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +68
The third-generation instrument for the 10-meter South Pole Telescope, SPT-3G, was first installed in January 2017. In addition to completely new cryostats, secondary telescope opt…
Design and characterization of the SPT-3G receiver
J. A. Sobrin, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +68
The SPT-3G receiver was commissioned in early 2017 on the 10-meter South Pole Telescope (SPT) to map anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). New optics, detector, an…
Broadband anti-reflective coatings for cosmic microwave background experiments
A. Nadolski, A. M. Kofman, J. D. Vieira +71
The desire for higher sensitivity has driven ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments to employ ever larger focal planes, which in turn require larger reimaging o…
Spectral Kurtosis Based RFI Mitigation for CHIME
Jacob Taylor, Nolan Denman, Kevin Bandura +5
We present the implementation of a spectral kurtosis based Radio Frequency Interference detection system on the CHIME instrument and its reduced-scale pathfinder. Our implementatio…
Optical Characterization of the SPT-3G Focal Plane
Zhaodi Pan, Peter Ade, Zeeshan Ahmed +73
The third-generation South Pole Telescope camera is designed to measure the cosmic microwave background across three frequency bands (95, 150 and 220 GHz) with ~16,000 transition-e…
The CHIME Fast Radio Burst Project: System Overview
FRB Collaboration, M. Amiri, K. Bandura +49
The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) is a novel transit radio telescope operating across the 400-800-MHz band. CHIME is comprised of four 20-m x 100-m semi-cy…
