Improved Polarization Calibration of the BICEP3 CMB Polarimeter at the South Pole
J. Cornelison, C. Vergès, P. A. R. Ade +83
The BICEP3 Polarimeter is a small aperture, refracting telescope, dedicated to the observation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) at 95GHz. It is designed to target degree an…
BICEP3 performance overview and planned Keck Array upgrade
J. A. Grayson, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +56
BICEP3 is a 520 mm aperture, compact two-lens refractor designed to observe the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) at 95 GHz. Its focal plane consists of modular…
A Joint Analysis of BICEP2/Keck Array and Planck Data
BICEP2/Keck, Planck Collaborations, : +276
We report the results of a joint analysis of data from BICEP2/Keck Array and Planck. BICEP2 and Keck Array have observed the same approximately 400 deg patch of sky centered on…
BICEP3: a 95 GHz refracting telescope for degree-scale CMB polarization
Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri, S. J. Benton +29
BICEP3 is a 550 mm-aperture refracting telescope for polarimetry of radiation in the cosmic microwave background at 95 GHz. It adopts the methodology of BICEP1, BICEP2 and the Keck…
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…
Pointing control for the SPIDER balloon-borne telescope
Jamil A. Shariff, Peter A. R. Ade, Mandana Amiri +45
We present the technology and control methods developed for the pointing system of the SPIDER experiment. SPIDER is a balloon-borne polarimeter designed to detect the imprint of pr…
