SPHEREx: NASA's Near-Infrared Spectrophotmetric All-Sky Survey
Brendan P. Crill, Michael Werner, Rachel Akeson +51
SPHEREx, the Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and ices Explorer, is a NASA MIDEX mission planned for launch in 2024. SPHEREx will carry ou…
SPHERExLabTools (SLT): A Python Data Acquisition System for SPHEREx Characterization and Calibration
Sam Condon, Marco Viero, James Bock +7
Selected as the next NASA Medium Class Explorer mission, SPHEREx, the Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer is planned for la…
Thermal kinetic inductance detectors for ground-based millimeter-wave cosmology
Bryan A. Steinbach, James J. Bock, Hien T. Nguyen +2
We show measurements of thermal kinetic inductance detectors (TKID) intended for millimeter wave cosmology in the 200-300 GHz atmospheric window. The TKID is a type of bolometer wh…
Spatial and Temporal Stability of Airglow Measured in the Meinel Band Window at 1191.3 nm
Hien T. Nguyen, Michael Zemcov, John Battle +4
We report on the temporal and spatial fluctuations in the atmospheric brightness in the narrow band between Meinel emission lines at 1191.3 nm using an R=320 near-infrared instrume…
Status of MUSIC, the MUltiwavelength Sub/millimeter Inductance Camera
Sunil R. Golwala, Clint Bockstiegel, Spencer Brugger +21
We present the status of MUSIC, the MUltiwavelength Sub/millimeter Inductance Camera, a new instrument for the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. MUSIC is designed to have a 14', d…
MAKO: a pathfinder instrument for on-sky demonstration of low-cost 350 micron imaging arrays
Loren J. Swenson, Peter K. Day, Charles D. Dowell +10
Submillimeter cameras now have up to pixels (SCUBA 2). The proposed CCAT 25-meter submillimeter telescope will feature a 1 degree field-of-view. Populating the focal plane a…
Absolute polarization angle calibration using polarized diffuse Galactic emission observed by BICEP
Tomotake Matsumura, Peter Ade, Denis Barkats +25
We present a method of cross-calibrating the polarization angle of a polarimeter using BICEP Galactic observations. \bicep\ was a ground based experiment using an array of 49 pairs…
