Weak lensing in the blue: a counter-intuitive strategy for stratospheric observations
Mohamed M. Shaaban, Ajay S. Gill, Jacqueline McCleary +24
The statistical power of weak lensing measurements is principally driven by the number of high redshift galaxies whose shapes are resolved. Conventional wisdom and physical intuiti…
Download by Parachute: Retrieval of Assets from High Altitude Balloons
E. L. Sirks, P. Clark, R. J. Massey +27
We present a publicly-available toolkit of flight-proven hardware and software to retrieve 5 TB of data or small physical samples from a stratospheric balloon platform. Before laun…
Robust diffraction-limited NIR-to-NUV wide-field imaging from stratospheric balloon-borne platforms -- SuperBIT science telescope commissioning flight & performance
L. Javier Romualdez, Steven J. Benton, Anthony M. Brown +26
At a fraction the total cost of an equivalent orbital mission, scientific balloon-borne platforms, operating above 99.7% of the Earth's atmosphere, offer attractive, competitive, a…
Overview, design, and flight results from SuperBIT: a high-resolution, wide-field, visible-to-near-UV balloon-borne astronomical telescope
L. Javier Romualdez, Steven J. Benton, Anthony M. Brown +17
Balloon-borne astronomy is a unique tool that allows for a level of image stability and significantly reduced atmospheric interference without the often prohibitive cost and long d…
Precise Pointing and Stabilization Performance for the Balloon-borne Imaging Testbed (BIT): 2015 Test Flight
L. J. Romualdez, P. Clark, C. J. Damaren +5
Balloon-borne astronomy offers an attractive option for experiments that require precise pointing and attitude stabilization, due to a large reduction in the atmospheric interferen…
