The Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarization: BLAST-pol
G. Marsden, P. A. R. Ade, S. Benton +35
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) is a sub-orbital experiment designed to study the process of star formation in local galaxies (including the Milky…
New Results on the Submillimeter Polarization Spectrum of the Orion Molecular Cloud
J. E. Vaillancourt, C. D. Dowell, R. H. Hildebrand +7
We have used the SHARP polarimeter at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory to map the polarization at wavelengths of 350 and 450 micron in a ~2 x 3 arcmin region of the Orion Mole…
Dispersion of Observed Position Angles of Submillimeter Polarization in Molecular Clouds
G. Novak, J. L. Dotson, H. Li
One can estimate the characteristic magnetic field strength in GMCs by comparing submillimeter polarimetric observations of these sources with simulated polarization maps developed…
Design and Initial Performance of SHARP, a Polarimeter for the SHARC-II Camera at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory
H. Li, C. D. Dowell, L. Kirby +2
We have developed a fore-optics module that converts the SHARC-II camera at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory into a sensitive imaging polarimeter at wavelengths of 350 and 450…
First Results from SPARO: Evidence for Large-Scale Toroidal Magnetic Fields in the Galactic Center
G. Novak, D. T. Chuss, T. Renbarger +6
We have observed the linear polarization of 450 micron continuum emission from the Galactic center, using a new polarimetric detector system that is operated on a 2 m telescope at…
Anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background at Degree Angular Scales: Python V Results
K. Coble, M. Dragovan, J. Kovac +12
Observations of the microwave sky using the Python telescope in its fifth season of operation at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica are presented. The system consi…
