A Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope
Mark J. Devlin
A new generation of sub-orbital platforms will be operational in the next few years. These new telescopes will operate from airborne and balloon-borne platforms where the atmospher…
Comparing and combining the Saskatoon, QMAP and COBE CMB maps
Yongzhong Xu, Max Tegmark, Angelica de Oliveira-Costa +5
We present a method for comparing and combining maps with different resolutions and beam shapes, and apply it to the Saskatoon, QMAP and COBE/DMR data sets. Although the Saskatoon…
Galactic contamination in the QMAP experiment
Angelica de Oliveira-Costa, Max Tegmark, Mark J. Devlin +6
We quantify the level of foreground contamination in the QMAP Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data with two objectives: (a) measuring the level to which the QMAP power spectrum m…
A Measurement of the Angular Power Spectrum of the CMB from l = 100 to 400
A. D. Miller, R. Caldwell, M. J. Devlin +7
We report on a measurement of the angular spectrum of the CMB between and made at 144 GHz from Cerro Toco in the Chilean altiplano. When the new data…
Mapping the CMB III: combined analysis of QMAP flights
Angelica de Oliveira-Costa, Mark Devlin, Tom Herbig +4
We present results from the QMAP balloon experiment, which maps the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and probes its angular power spectrum on degree scales. In two separate flight…
Mapping the CMB II: the second flight of the QMAP experiment
Tom Herbig, Angelica de Oliveira-Costa, Mark Devlin +3
We report the results from the second flight of QMAP, an experiment to map the cosmic microwave background near the North Celestial Pole. We present maps of the sky at 31 and 42 GH…
