High-resolution tSZ cartography of clusters of galaxies with NIKA at the IRAM 30-m telescope
F. Mayet, R. Adam, A. Adane +41
The thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (tSZ) is a powerful probe to study clusters of galaxies and is complementary with respect to X-ray, lensing or optical observations. Previous a…
High resolution SZ observations at the IRAM 30-m telescope with NIKA
R. Adam, A. Adane, P. Ade +36
High resolution observations of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect are necessary to allow the use of clusters of galaxies as a probe for large scale structures at high red…
The NIKA 2012-2014 observing campaigns: control of systematic effects and results
A. Catalano, R. Adam, A. Adane +35
The New IRAM KID Array (NIKA) is a dual-band camera operating with frequency multiplexed arrays of Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors (LEKIDs) cooled to 100 mK. NIKA is de…
Performance and calibration of the NIKA camera at the IRAM 30 m telescope
A. Catalano, M. Calvo, N. Ponthieu +34
The New IRAM KID Array (NIKA) instrument is a dual-band imaging camera operating with Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID) cooled at 100 mK. NIKA is designed to observe the sky at wa…
Niobium Silicon alloys for Kinetic Inductance Detectors
M. Calvo, A. D'Addabbo, A. Monfardini +8
We are studying the properties of Niobium Silicon amorphous alloys as a candidate material for the fabrication of highly sensitive Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID), optimized for…
Detection of the tSZ effect with the NIKA camera
B. Comis, R. Adam, J. F. Macías-Pérez +35
We present the first detection of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect from a cluster of galaxies performed with a KIDs (Kinetic Inductance Detectors) based instrument. The…
High speed readout electronics development for frequency-multiplexed kinetic inductance detector design optimization
O. Bourrion, C. Vescovi, A. Catalano +6
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKID) are a promising solution for spaceborne mm-wave astronomy. To optimize their design and make them insensitive to the ballistic phonons…
First observation of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect with kinetic inductance detectors
R. Adam, B. Comis, J. F. Macías-Pérez +35
Clusters of galaxies provide valuable information on the evolution of the Universe and large scale structures. Recent cluster observations via the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ)…
Development of Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors for NIKA
M. Roesch, A. Benoit, A. Bideaud +10
Lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors(LEKIDs) have recently shown considerable promise as direct absorption mm-wavelength detectors for astronomical applications. One major r…
