In-Flight Performance of Spider's 280 GHz Receivers
Elle C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +84
SPIDER is a balloon-borne instrument designed to map the cosmic microwave background at degree-angular scales in the presence of Galactic foregrounds. SPIDER has mapped a large sky…
A new tool to derive simultaneously exponent and extremes of power-law distributions
S. Pezzuto, A. Coletta, R. S. Klessen +6
Many experimental quantities show a power-law distribution . In astrophysics, examples are: size distribution of dust grains or luminosity function of galaxies.…
Characterization, deployment, and in-flight performance of the BLAST-TNG cryogenic receiver
Ian Lowe, Peter A. R. Ade, Peter C. Ashton +30
The Next Generation Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST-TNG) is a submillimeter polarimeter designed to map interstellar dust and galactic foregrounds at 25…
In-flight performance of the BLAST-TNG telescope platform
Gabriele Coppi, Peter A. R. Ade, Peter C. Ashton +30
The Next Generation Balloon-Borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST-TNG) was a unique instrument for characterizing the polarized submillimeter sky at high-angular reso…
Design and pre-flight performance of SPIDER 280 GHz receivers
E. C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +79
In this work we describe upgrades to the Spider balloon-borne telescope in preparation for its second flight, currently planned for December 2021. The Spider instrument is optimize…
The Balloon-Borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope Observatory
Ian Lowe, Gabriele Coppi, Peter A. R. Ade +30
The BLAST Observatory is a proposed superpressure balloon-borne polarimeter designed for a future ultra-long duration balloon campaign from Wanaka, New Zealand. To maximize scienti…
