SuperBIT Superpressure Flight Instrument Overview and Performance: Near diffraction-limited Astronomical Imaging from the Stratosphere
Ajay S. Gill, Steven J. Benton, Christopher J. Damaren +26
SuperBIT was a 0.5-meter near-ultraviolet to near-infrared wide-field telescope that launched on a NASA superpressure balloon into the stratosphere from New Zealand for a 45-night…
From SuperBIT to GigaBIT: Informing next-generation balloon-borne telescope design with Fine Guidance System flight data
Philippe Voyer, Steven J. Benton, Christopher J. Damaren +28
The Super-pressure Balloon-borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT) is a near-diffraction-limited 0.5m telescope that launched via NASA's super-pressure balloon technology on April 16, 2…
Instrument Overview of Taurus: A Balloon-borne CMB and Dust Polarization Experiment
Jared L. May, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +20
Taurus is a balloon-borne cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment optimized to map the E-mode polarization and Galactic foregrounds at the largest angular scales ( …
Overview of the Optical Design of the CMB-S4 Large Aperture Telescopes and Camera Optics
Patricio A. Gallardo, Kathleen Harrington, Roberto Puddu +8
CMB-S4, the next-generation CMB observatory, will deploy hundreds of thousands of detectors to enable mapping the millimeter-wavelength sky with unprecedented speed. The large aper…
Data downloaded via parachute from a NASA super-pressure balloon
Ellen L. Sirks, Richard Massey, Ajay S. Gill +40
In April to May 2023, the superBIT telescope was lifted to the Earth's stratosphere by a helium-filled super-pressure balloon, to acquire astronomical imaging from above (99.5% of)…
Sidelobe Modeling and Mitigation for a Three Mirror Anastigmat Cosmic Microwave Background Telescope
Ian Gullett, Bradford Benson, Robert Besuner +16
Telescopes measuring cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization on large angular scales require exquisite control of systematic errors to ensure the fidelity of the cosmologica…
