MKID development for SuperSpec: an on-chip, mm-wave, filter-bank spectrometer
Erik Shirokoff, Peter S. Barry, Charles M. Bradford +16
SuperSpec is an ultra-compact spectrometer-on-a-chip for millimeter and submillimeter wavelength astronomy. Its very small size, wide spectral bandwidth, and highly multiplexed rea…
SuperSpec: design concept and circuit simulations
Attila Kovács, Peter S. Barry, Charles M. Bradford +14
SuperSpec is a pathfinder for future lithographic spectrometer cameras, which promise to energize extra-galactic astrophysics at (sub)millimeter wavelengths: delivering 200--500 km…
The Ionized Circumstellar Envelopes of Orion Source I and the Becklin Neugebauer Object
R. L. Plambeck, A. D. Bolatto, J. M. Carpenter +12
The 229 GHz (lambda 1.3mm) radio emission from Orion-KL was mapped with up to 0.14" angular resolution with CARMA, allowing measurements of the flux densities of Source I ('SrcI')…
Jet Launching Structure Resolved Near the Supermassive Black Hole in M87
Sheperd S. Doeleman, Vincent L. Fish, David E. Schenck +30
Approximately 10% of active galactic nuclei exhibit relativistic jets, which are powered by accretion of matter onto super massive black holes. While the measured width profiles of…
Design and characterization of 90 GHz feedhorn-coupled TES polarimeter pixels in the SPTpol camera
J. T. Sayre, P. Ade, K. A. Aird +58
The SPTpol camera is a two-color, polarization-sensitive bolometer receiver, and was installed on the 10 meter South Pole Telescope in January 2012. SPTpol is designed to study the…
South Pole Telescope Software Systems: Control, Monitoring, and Data Acquisition
K. Story, E. Leitch, P. Ade +64
We present the software system used to control and operate the South Pole Telescope. The South Pole Telescope is a 10-meter millimeter-wavelength telescope designed to measure anis…
Dark Matter Substructure Detection Using Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy of Lensed Dusty Galaxies
Yashar Hezaveh, Neal Dalal, Gilbert Holder +4
We investigate how strong lensing of dusty, star-forming galaxies by foreground galaxies can be used as a probe of dark matter halo substructure. We find that spatially resolved sp…
Resolving the inner jet structure of 1924-292 with the EVENT HORIZON TELESCOPE
Ru-Sen Lu, Vincent L. Fish, Jonathan Weintroub +19
We present the first 1.3 mm (230 GHz) very long baseline interferometry model image of an AGN jet using closure phase techniques with a four-element array. The model image of the q…
A Massive, Cooling-Flow-Induced Starburst in the Core of a Highly Luminous Galaxy Cluster
M. McDonald, M. Bayliss, B. A. Benson +83
In the cores of some galaxy clusters the hot intracluster plasma is dense enough that it should cool radiatively in the cluster's lifetime, leading to continuous "cooling flows" of…
An Observed Lack of Substructure in Starless Cores II: Super-Jeans Cores
Scott Schnee, Sarah Sadavoy, James Di Francesco +2
We present SMA and CARMA continuum and spectral line observations of five dense cores located in the Perseus and Ophiuchus molecular clouds whose masses exceed their thermal Jeans…
Submillimeter Observations of Millimeter Bright Galaxies Discovered by the South Pole Telescope
T. R. Greve, J. D. Vieira, A. Weiss +65
We present APEX SABOCA 350micron and LABOCA 870micron observations of 11 representative examples of the rare, extremely bright (S_1.4mm > 15mJy), dust-dominated millimeter-selected…
IDCS J1426.5+3508: Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Measurement of a Massive IR-selected Cluster at z=1.75
M. Brodwin, A. H. Gonzalez, S. A. Stanford +14
We report 31 GHz CARMA observations of IDCS J1426.5+3508, an infrared-selected galaxy cluster at z = 1.75. A Sunyaev-Zel'dovich decrement is detected towards this cluster, indicati…
SPT-CL J0205-5829: A z = 1.32 Evolved Massive Galaxy Cluster in the South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Survey
B. Stalder, J. Ruel, R. Suhada +80
The galaxy cluster SPT-CL J0205-5829 currently has the highest spectroscopically-confirmed redshift, z=1.322, in the South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SPT-SZ) survey. XMM-Ne…
