We present the status and goals of the readout electronics system we are developing to support the detector arrays in the coronagraph instrument on the NASA Habitable Worlds Observ…
Spaceflight KID Readout Electronics for PRIMA
Thomas Essinger-Hileman, C. Matt Bradford, Patrick Brown +23
We present the design and testing of a prototype multiplexing kinetic inductance detector (KID) readout electronics for the PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) spac…
Readout of Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) Arrays for Habitable Worlds Observatory Using a Polyphase Filterbank Algorithm
Oketa Basha, Tracee Lynn Jamison-Hooks, Philip Mauskopf +12
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), a nextgeneration ultraviolet/optical/infrared space telescope, will require detector technologies capable of supporting substantially larger…
CCAT: Design, Implementation, and Testing of a System to Read Out over 10,000 280 GHz KIDs using RFSoC Electronics
Darshan A. Patel, Yuhan Wang, Cody J. Duell +28
Over the past decade, kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) have emerged as a viable superconducting technology for astrophysics at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths. KIDs spa…
CCAT: Mod-Cam Cryogenic Performance and its Impact on 280 GHz KID Array Noise
Lawrence T. Lin, Eve M. Vavagiakis, Jason E. Austermann +27
The CCAT Observatory's Fred Young Submillimeter Telescope (FYST) is designed to observe submillimeter astronomical signals with high precision, using receivers fielding state-of-th…
Optimized Observation Sequencing in Low-Earth Orbit with the SPHEREx Survey Planning Software
Sean Bryan, James Bock, Thomas Burk +23
SPHEREx is a NASA infrared astronomy mission that launched on March 12th, 2025 and is operating successfully in low-Earth orbit (LEO). The mission is currently observing the entire…
