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…
Optical night sky brightness measurements from the stratosphere
Ajay Gill, Steven J. Benton, Anthony M. Brown +27
This paper presents optical night sky brightness measurements from the stratosphere using CCD images taken with the Super-pressure Balloon-borne Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT). The d…
Planck intermediate results. LV. Reliability and thermal properties of high-frequency sources in the Second Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources
Planck Collaboration, Y. Akrami, M. Ashdown +117
We describe an extension of the most recent version of the Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS2), produced using a new multi-band Bayesian Extraction and Estimation Package (…
CMB-S4: Forecasting Constraints on Primordial Gravitational Waves
S4 Collaboration, Kevork Abazajian, Graeme E. Addison +233
CMB-S4---the next-generation ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment---is set to significantly advance the sensitivity of CMB measurements and enhance our underst…
Planck intermediate results. LVII. Joint Planck LFI and HFI data processing
Planck Collaboration, Y. Akrami, K. J. Andersen +136
We present the NPIPE processing pipeline, which produces calibrated frequency maps in temperature and polarization from data from the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) and High…
Download by Parachute: Retrieval of Assets from High Altitude Balloons
E. L. Sirks, P. Clark, R. J. Massey +27
We present a publicly-available toolkit of flight-proven hardware and software to retrieve 5 TB of data or small physical samples from a stratospheric balloon platform. Before laun…
Particle response of antenna-coupled TES arrays: results from SPIDER and the lab
B. Osherson, J. P. Filippini, J. Fu +45
Future mm-wave and sub-mm space missions will employ large arrays of multiplexed Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometers. Such instruments must contend with the high flux of cosmic…
