System performance of a TDM test-bed with long flex harness towards the new X-IFU FPA-DM
D. Vaccaro, M. de Wit, J. van der Kuur +17
SRON (Netherlands Institute for Space Research) is developing the Focal Plane Assembly (FPA) for Athena X-IFU, whose Demonstration Model (DM) will use for the first time a time dom…
ATHENA X-IFU Demonstration Model: First joint operation of the main TES Array and its Cryogenic AntiCoincidence Detector (CryoAC)
M. D'Andrea, K. Ravensberg, A. Argan +28
The X-IFU is the cryogenic spectrometer onboard the future ATHENA X-ray observatory. It is based on a large array of TES microcalorimeters, which works in combination with a Cryoge…
Towards 100,000-pixel microcalorimeter arrays using multi-absorber transition-edge sensors
S. J. Smith, J. S. Adams, S. R. Bandler +15
We report on the development of multi-absorber transition edge sensors (TESs), referred to as hydras. A hydra consists of multiple x-ray absorbers each with a different thermal con…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Data Characterization and Map Making
Rolando Dünner, Matthew Hasselfield, Tobias A. Marriage +71
We present a description of the data reduction and mapmaking pipeline used for the 2008 observing season of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). The data presented here at 148 GH…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: The Receiver and Instrumentation
D. S. Swetz, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +38
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope was designed to measure small-scale anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background and detect galaxy clusters through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect…
