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…
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry-BLASTPol: Performance and results from the 2012 Antarctic flight
N. Galitzki, P. A. R. Ade, F. E. Angilé +22
The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol) is a suborbital mapping experiment, designed to study the role played by magnetic fields in the…
Thermal design and performance of the balloon-borne large aperture submillimeter telescope for polarimetry BLASTPol
J. D. Soler, P. A. R. Ade, F. E. Angilè +25
We present the thermal model of the Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry (BLASTPol). This instrument was successfully flown in two circumpolar fligh…
Pre-flight integration and characterization of the SPIDER balloon-borne telescope
A. S. Rahlin, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +45
We present the results of integration and characterization of the SPIDER instrument after the 2013 pre-flight campaign. SPIDER is a balloon-borne polarimeter designed to probe the…
BLASTbus electronics: general-purpose readout and control for balloon-borne experiments
S. J. Benton, P. A. Ade, M. Amiri +66
We present the second generation BLASTbus electronics. The primary purposes of this system are detector readout, attitude control, and cryogenic housekeeping, for balloon-borne tel…
Design and construction of a carbon fiber gondola for the SPIDER balloon-borne telescope
J. D. Soler, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +44
We introduce the light-weight carbon fiber and aluminum gondola designed for the SPIDER balloon-borne telescope. SPIDER is designed to measure the polarization of the Cosmic Microw…
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…
Comparison of Prestellar Core Elongations and Large-Scale Molecular Cloud Structures in the Lupus I Region
F. Poidevin, P. A. R. Ade, F. E. Angile +28
Turbulence and magnetic fields are expected to be important for regulating molecular cloud formation and evolution. However, their effects on subparsec to 100 parsec scales, leadin…
