The prototype of the NIKA2 camera, NIKA, is an instrument operating at the IRAM 30-m telescope, which can observe simultaneously at 150 and 260GHz. One of the main goals of NIKA2 i…
First polarised light with the NIKA camera
A. Ritacco, R. Adam, A. Adane +39
NIKA is a dual-band camera operating with 315 frequency multiplexed LEKIDs cooled at 100 mK. NIKA is designed to observe the sky in intensity and polarisation at 150 and 260 GHz fr…
Pressure distribution of the high-redshift cluster of galaxies CL J1226.9+3332 with NIKA
R. Adam, B. Comis, J. -F. Macías-Pérez +37
The thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect is expected to provide a low scatter mass proxy for galaxy clusters since it is directly proportional to the cluster thermal energy. The…
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…
