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…
Characterization of a Far-Infrared Kinetic Inductance Detector Prototype for PRIMA
Steven Hailey-Dunsheath, Sven van Berkel, Andrew E. Beyer +10
The PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) is under study as a potential far-IR space mission, featuring actively cooled optics, and both imaging and spectroscopic ins…
