Design and Characterization of a Balloon-Borne Diffraction-Limited Submillimeter Telescope Platform for BLAST-TNG
Nathan P. Lourie, Francisco E. Angile, Peter C. Ashton +16
The Next Generation Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST-TNG) is a submillimeter mapping experiment planned for a 28 day long-duration balloon (LDB) flight f…
Studies of Systematic Uncertainties for Simons Observatory: Polarization Modulator Related Effects
Maria Salatino, Jacob Lashner, Martina Gerbino +24
The Simons Observatory (SO) will observe the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) over a wide range of frequencies (27 to 270 GHz) and…
The EBEX Balloon Borne Experiment - Detectors and Readout
The EBEX Collaboration, Maximilian Abitbol, Asad M. Aboobaker +37
EBEX was a long-duration balloon-borne experiment to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background. The experiment had three frequency bands centered at 150, 250, and…
A high-resolution pointing system for fast scanning platforms: The EBEX example
Joy Didier, Daniel Chapman, Asad Aboobaker +12
The E and B experiment (EBEX) is a balloon-borne telescope designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background with 8' resolution employing a gondola scanning w…
