Thermal architecture for a cryogenic super-pressure balloon payload: design and development of the Taurus flight cryostat
Simon Tartakovsky, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +20
We describe the cryogenic system being developed for Taurus: a super-pressure balloon-borne microwave polarimeter scheduled to fly in 2027. The Taurus cryogenic system consists of…
Direct Imaging of Transition-Edge Sensors with Scanning SQUID Microscopy
Samantha Walker, Austin Kaczmarek, Jason Austermann +10
Significant advancements have been made in understanding the physics of transition-edge sensors (TESs) over the past decade. However, key questions remain, particularly a detailed…
In-Flight Performance of Spider's 280 GHz Receivers
Elle C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +84
SPIDER is a balloon-borne instrument designed to map the cosmic microwave background at degree-angular scales in the presence of Galactic foregrounds. SPIDER has mapped a large sky…
Instrument Overview of Taurus: A Balloon-borne CMB and Dust Polarization Experiment
Jared L. May, Alexandre E. Adler, Jason E. Austermann +20
Taurus is a balloon-borne cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment optimized to map the E-mode polarization and Galactic foregrounds at the largest angular scales ( …
The Simons Observatory: Dark Characterization of the Large Aperture Telescope
Saianeesh K. Haridas, Zeeshan Ahmed, Tanay Bhandarkar +20
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background experiment composed of three 0.42 m Small Aperture Telescopes (SATs) and one 6 m Large Aperture Telescope (LAT) in the…
The Simons Observatory: Studies of Detector Yield and Readout Noise From the First Large-Scale Deployment of Microwave Multiplexing at the Large Aperture Telescope
Thomas P. Satterthwaite, Zeeshan Ahmed, Kyuyoung Bae +21
The Simons Observatory is a new ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment, which is currently being commissioned in Chile's Atacama Desert. During its survey, the observa…
