SuMAC: On-sky demonstration of multi-pixel on-chip millimeter-wave spectroscopy at the Large Millimeter Telescope
Marcial Becerril-Tapia, Peter S. Barry, Christopher S. Benson +29
The SuperSpec-MUSCAT Collaboration (SuMAC) is an effort to operate SuperSpec spectrometers in the MUSCAT instrument at the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT). SuperSpec is an on-chip…
Spatial Mapping and Capacitor Trimming Developments to Improve Usable Pixel Yield in PRIMA FIRESS Kilo-Pixel Arrays
Chris Albert, Jonathon Hunacek, Hien Nguyen +15
The Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) will use 8 kilo-pixel kinetic inductance detector (KID) arrays in its spectrometer module. We present an improved resonant f…
Radiation Total Dose for PRIMA: Cold Exposure with Alpha Particles
Elijah Kane, Chris Albert, Andrew Beyer +11
The Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) is a far-infrared (24-261 micron wavelengths) probe-class space observatory currently under Phase A study, which promises or…
The Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS) for PRIMA: Approach and Estimated Performance
C. M., Bradford, Alan J. Kogut +19
We present the architectural concept for the Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS) for the Probe Mission for far-IR Astrophysics (PRIMA). FIRESS spans the 24--235 micr…
