In-Flight Performance of Spider's 280 GHz Receivers

Elle C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +84

SPIDER is a balloon-borne instrument designed to map the cosmic microwave background at degree-angular scales in the presence of Galactic foregrounds. SPIDER has mapped a large sky…

In-flight gain monitoring of SPIDER's transition-edge sensor arrays

J. P. Filippini, A. E. Gambrel, A. S. Rahlin +67

Experiments deploying large arrays of transition-edge sensors (TESs) often require a robust method to monitor gain variations with minimal loss of observing time. We propose a sens…

Particle response of antenna-coupled TES arrays: results from SPIDER and the lab

B. Osherson, J. P. Filippini, J. Fu +45

Future mm-wave and sub-mm space missions will employ large arrays of multiplexed Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometers. Such instruments must contend with the high flux of cosmic…
