The Simons Observatory: Science Goals and Forecasts for the Enhanced Large Aperture Telescope
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, M. Abitbol, I. Abril-Cabezas +419
We describe updated scientific goals for the wide-field, millimeter-wave survey that will be produced by the Simons Observatory (SO). Significant upgrades to the 6-meter SO Large A…
The conceptual design of the 50-meter Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST)
Tony Mroczkowski, Patricio A. Gallardo, Martin Timpe +23
The (sub)millimeter sky contains a vast wealth of information that is both complementary and inaccessible to other wavelengths. Over half the light we receive is observable at (sub…
Simons Observatory: Characterization of the Large Aperture Telescope Receiver
Tanay Bhandarkar, Saianeesh K. Haridas, Jeff Iuliano +41
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment that currently consists of three 0.42m small-aperture telescopes (SATs) and one 6m…
maria: A novel simulator for forecasting (sub-)mm observations
J. van Marrewijk, T. W. Morris, T. Mroczkowski +8
Millimeter-wave single-dish telescopes offer two key advantages compared to interferometers: they can efficiently map larger portions of the sky, and they can recover larger spatia…
The Simons Observatory: Dark Characterization of the Large Aperture Telescope
Saianeesh K. Haridas, Zeeshan Ahmed, Tanay Bhandarkar +20
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background experiment composed of three 0.42 m Small Aperture Telescopes (SATs) and one 6 m Large Aperture Telescope (LAT) in the…
The Simons Observatory: Studies of Detector Yield and Readout Noise From the First Large-Scale Deployment of Microwave Multiplexing at the Large Aperture Telescope
Thomas P. Satterthwaite, Zeeshan Ahmed, Kyuyoung Bae +21
The Simons Observatory is a new ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment, which is currently being commissioned in Chile's Atacama Desert. During its survey, the observa…
