Proof of concept of the COSMOCal project at the IRAM 30m telescope
S. Savorgnano, L. Bizzarri, A. Ritacco +25
This work reports on a test campaign conducted at the IRAM 30m telescope to validate the COSMOCal instrument, a novel concept for absolute calibration of polarization angle, beam p…
Status and future development of the COSMOCal Project for absolute CMB polarization calibration
Silvia Micheli, Alessia Ritacco, Alessandro Carones +36
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarization measurements are pushing instrumental sensitivities to levels where calibration systematics become a dominant limitation. The large d…
Status of the COSmological Microwave Observations CALibrator
L. Mousset, J. Aumont, S. Berta +33
As the sensitivity of CMB telescopes increases, the need for precise calibration becomes critical. Started in 2022, the COSMOCal project aims to place an artificial polarized sourc…
CONCERTO: Instrument model of Fourier transform spectroscopy, white-noise components
Alessandro Fasano, Peter Ade, Manuel Aravena +34
Modern astrophysics relies on intricate instrument setups to meet the demands of sensitivity, sky coverage, and multi-channel observations. An example is the CONCERTO project, empl…
CONCERTO: instrument and status
Alessandro Fasano, Peter Ade, Manuel Aravena +36
CONCERTO (CarbON CII line in post-rEionization and ReionizaTiOn) is a low-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer dedicated to the study of star-forming galaxies and clusters of…
class_sz I: Overview
B. Bolliet, A. Kusiak, F. McCarthy +16
class_sz is a versatile and robust code in C and Python that can compute theoretical predictions for a wide range of observables relevant to cross-survey science in the Stage IV er…
Probing the role of magnetic fields in star-forming filaments: NIKA2-Pol commissioning results toward OMC-1
H. Ajeddig, R. Adam, P. Ade +43
Dust polarization observations are a powerful, practical tool to probe the geometry (and to some extent, the strength) of magnetic fields in star-forming regions. In particular, Pl…
Observations with KIDs Interferometer Spectrum Survey(KISS)
A. Fasano, A. Catalano, J. F. Macías-Pérez +33
We describe the preliminary on-sky results of the KIDs Interferometer Spectrum Survey (KISS), a spectral imager with a 1 deg field of view (FoV). The instrument operates in the ran…
Accurate sky signal reconstruction for ground-based spectroscopy with kinetic inductance detectors
A. Fasano., J. F. Macías-Pérez, A. Benoit +33
Context. Wide-field spectrometers are needed to deal with current astrophysical challenges that require multiband observations at millimeter wavelengths. An example of these is the…
Detection of the magnetar XTE J1810-197 at 150 and 260 GHz with the NIKA2 Kinetic Inductance Detector camera
P. Torne, J. Macías-Pérez, B. Ladjelate +13
The investigation of pulsars between millimetre and optical wavelengths is challenging due to the faintness of the pulsar signals and the relative low sensitivity of the available…
