In-flight gain monitoring of SPIDER's transition-edge sensor arrays
J. P. Filippini, A. E. Gambrel, A. S. Rahlin +67
Experiments deploying large arrays of transition-edge sensors (TESs) often require a robust method to monitor gain variations with minimal loss of observing time. We propose a sens…
A Simulation-Based Method for Correcting Mode Coupling in CMB Angular Power Spectra
J. S. -Y. Leung, J. Hartley, J. M. Nagy +67
Modern CMB analysis pipelines regularly employ complex time-domain filters, beam models, masking, and other techniques during the production of sky maps and their corresponding ang…
Optical leakage mitigation in ortho-mode transducer detectors for microwave applications
Riccardo Gualtieri, Peter S. Barry, Thomas Cecil +5
Planar ortho-mode transducers (OMTs) are a commonly used method of coupling optical signals between waveguides and on-chip circuitry and detectors. While the ideal OMT-waveguide co…
The Design and Integrated Performance of SPT-3G
J. A. Sobrin, A. J. Anderson, A. N. Bender +120
SPT-3G is the third survey receiver operating on the South Pole Telescope dedicated to high-resolution observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Sensitive measurements…
The XFaster Power Spectrum and Likelihood Estimator for the Analysis of Cosmic Microwave Background Maps
A. E. Gambrel, A. S. Rahlin, X. Song +64
We present the XFaster analysis package. XFaster is a fast, iterative angular power spectrum estimator based on a diagonal approximation to the quadratic Fisher matrix estimator. X…
Constraints on CDM Extensions from the SPT-3G 2018 and Power Spectra
L. Balkenhol, D. Dutcher, P. A. R. Ade +117
We present constraints on extensions to the CDM cosmological model from measurements of the -mode polarization auto-power spectrum and the temperature--mode cross-power sp…
A Constraint on Primordial -Modes from the First Flight of the SPIDER Balloon-Borne Telescope
SPIDER Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +68
We present the first linear polarization measurements from the 2015 long-duration balloon flight of SPIDER, an experiment designed to map the polarization of the cosmic microwave b…
Performance and characterization of the SPT-3G digital frequency-domain multiplexed readout system using an improved noise and crosstalk model
J. Montgomery, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +118
The third generation South Pole Telescope camera (SPT-3G) improves upon its predecessor (SPTpol) by an order of magnitude increase in detectors on the focal plane. The technology u…
Detection of Galactic and Extragalactic Millimeter-Wavelength Transient Sources with SPT-3G
S. Guns, A. Foster, C. Daley +119
High-angular-resolution cosmic microwave background experiments provide a unique opportunity to conduct a survey of time-variable sources at millimeter wavelengths, a population wh…
CMB/kSZ and Compton- Maps from 2500 square degrees of SPT-SZ and Planck Survey Data
L. E. Bleem, T. M. Crawford, B. Ansarinejad +37
We present component-separated maps of the primary cosmic microwave background/kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) amplitude and the thermal SZ Compton- parameter, created using d…
Measurements of the E-Mode Polarization and Temperature-E-Mode Correlation of the CMB from SPT-3G 2018 Data
D. Dutcher, L. Balkenhol, P. A. R. Ade +118
We present measurements of the -mode () polarization power spectrum and temperature--mode () cross-power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background using data collec…
