Submillimeter Polarization Spectrum in the Vela C Molecular Cloud
Natalie N. Gandilo, Peter A. R. Ade, Francesco E. Angilè +27
Polarization maps of the Vela C molecular cloud were obtained at 250, 350, and 500um during the 2012 flight of the balloon-borne telescope BLASTPol. These measurements are used in…
Attitude determination for balloon-borne experiments
N. N. Gandilo, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +64
An attitude determination system for balloon-borne experiments is presented. The system provides pointing information in azimuth and elevation for instruments flying on stratospher…
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry-BLASTPol: Performance and results from the 2012 Antarctic flight
N. Galitzki, P. A. R. Ade, F. E. Angilé +22
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol) is a suborbital mapping experiment, designed to study the role played by magnetic fields in the…
Thermal design and performance of the balloon-borne large aperture submillimeter telescope for polarimetry BLASTPol
J. D. Soler, P. A. R. Ade, F. E. Angilè +25
We present the thermal model of the Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol). This instrument was successfully flown in two circumpolar fligh…
BLASTbus electronics: general-purpose readout and control for balloon-borne experiments
S. J. Benton, P. A. Ade, M. Amiri +66
We present the second generation BLASTbus electronics. The primary purposes of this system are detector readout, attitude control, and cryogenic housekeeping, for balloon-borne tel…
Empirical modelling of the BLASTPol achromatic half-wave plate for precision submillimetre polarimetry
Lorenzo Moncelsi, Peter Ade, Francesco Elio Angile +18
A cryogenic achromatic half-wave plate (HWP) for submillimetre astronomical polarimetry has been designed, manufactured, tested, and deployed in the Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Su…
The balloon-borne large-aperture submillimeter telescope for polarimetry: BLAST-Pol
Laura M. Fissel, Peter A. R. Ade, Francesco E. Angile +27
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLAST-Pol) is a suborbital mapping experiment designed to study the role played by magnetic fields in the…
