QUIJOTE-TFGI polarization calibration -- Ground characterization and on-sky validation with Tau A and the Moon
Alessandro Fasano, Mateo Fernández-Torreiro, Guillermo Pascual-Cisneros +6
Our objective is to characterize the QUIJOTE Thirty and Forty GHz instrument (TFGI), calibrate it with a reference calibration signal on the ground, compare our results with on-sky…
The Simons Observatory: forecasted constraints on primordial gravitational waves with the expanded array of Small Aperture Telescopes
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, I. Abril-Cabezas, S. Adachi +479
We present updated forecasts for the scientific performance of the degree-scale (0.5 deg FWHM at 93 GHz), deep-field survey to be conducted by the Simons Observatory (SO). By 2027,…
Detection and characterisation of submm transient sources with a large single-dish telescope
Mike Peel, Dave Clements, Tony Mroczkowski +1
The exploration of the time-variable astronomical sky at submm wavelengths is rapidly becoming more feasible with large sky surveys by Cosmic Microwave Background telescopes with t…
The Simons Observatory: Development of a Pipeline to Detect Rapid Transients in Time-Ordered Data
Justin Clancy, Carlo Bacciagalupi, Josh Borrow +13
We introduce a method for detecting astrophysical transients evolving on timescales of milliseconds to minutes using cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey telescopes. While prev…
