Ushering in high angular resolution observatories in the far-infrared: The case for a double-Fourier interferometer
C. S. Benson, M. Bonato, T. A. Davis +14
A far-infrared (far-IR) interferometer from a space-based platform would bring about a transformational improvement in the spatial detail of astronomical observations that are inac…
The SPace-based InterFerometer Feasibility (SPIFF) Project: Enabling Future High-Resolution Astronomy Across the EM Spectrum
Berke Vow Ricketti, Victoria Yankelevich, Chris Benson +19
A plethora of astronomical science cases can only be achieved with high angular resolution observations, and we can expect the number of these to grow as astronomers are constraine…
Astronomical Optical Interferometry from the Lunar Surface
Gerard van Belle, Tabetha Boyajian, Michelle Creech-Eakman +28
The lunar surface is a compelling location for large, distributed optical facilities, with significant advantages over orbital facilities for high spatial resolution astrophysics.…
The Herschel SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer Spectral Feature Finder I. The Spectral Feature Finder and Catalogue
R. Hopwood, I. Valtchanov, Locke D. Spencer +11
We provide a detailed description of the Herschel-SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) Spectral Feature Finder (FF). The FF is an automated process designed to extract signif…
The Herschel SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer Spectral Feature Finder III. Line Identification and Off-Axis Spectra
Chris S. Benson, N. Hladczuk, Locke D. Spencer +5
The ESA Herschel Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) Spectral Feature Finder (FF) project is an automated spectral feature fittin…
Correcting the extended-source calibration for the Herschel-SPIRE Fourier-Transform Spectrometer
Ivan Valtchanov, R. Hopwood, G. Bendo +20
We describe an update to the Herschel-SPIRE Fourier-Transform Spectrometer (FTS) calibration for extended sources, which incorporates a correction for the frequency-dependent far-f…
Calibration of Herschel SPIRE FTS observations at different spectral resolutions
N. Marchili, R. Hopwood, T. Fulton +11
The SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer on board the Herschel Space Observatory had two standard spectral resolution modes for science observations: high resolution (HR) and low r…
Systematic characterisation of the Herschel SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer
R. Hopwood, E. T. Polehampton, I. Valtchanov +17
A systematic programme of calibration observations was carried out to monitor the performance of the SPIRE FTS instrument on board the Herschel Space Observatory. Observations of p…
Calibration of the Herschel SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer
B. M. Swinyard, E. T. Polehampton, R. Hopwood +21
The Herschel SPIRE instrument consists of an imaging photometric camera and an imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS), both operating over a frequency range of 450-1550 GHz.…
Empirical modelling of the BLASTPol achromatic half-wave plate for precision submillimetre polarimetry
Lorenzo Moncelsi, Peter Ade, Francesco Elio Angile +18
A cryogenic achromatic half-wave plate (HWP) for submillimetre astronomical polarimetry has been designed, manufactured, tested, and deployed in the Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Su…
