The Simons Observatory: the Large Aperture Telescope Receiver (LATR) Integration and Validation Results
Zhilei Xu, Tanay Bhandarkar, Gabriele Coppi +42
The Simons Observatory (SO) will observe the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from Cerro Toco in the Atacama Desert of Chile. The observatory consists of three 0.5 m Small Apertur…
The Balloon-Borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope Observatory
Ian Lowe, Gabriele Coppi, Peter A. R. Ade +30
The BLAST Observatory is a proposed superpressure balloon-borne polarimeter designed for a future ultra-long duration balloon campaign from Wanaka, New Zealand. To maximize scienti…
The Simons Observatory: gain, bandpass and polarization-angle calibration requirements for B-mode searches
Maximilian H. Abitbol, David Alonso, Sara M. Simon +45
We quantify the calibration requirements for systematic uncertainties for next-generation ground-based observatories targeting the large-angle -mode polarization of the Cosmic M…
The Simons Observatory: Metamaterial Microwave Absorber (MMA) and its Cryogenic Applications
Zhilei Xu, Grace E. Chesmore, Shunsuke Adachi +26
Controlling stray light at millimeter wavelengths requires special optical design and selection of absorptive materials that should be compatible with cryogenic operating environme…
The Simons Observatory: Modeling Optical Systematics in the Large Aperture Telescope
Jon E. Gudmundsson, Patricio A. Gallardo, Roberto Puddu +35
We present geometrical and physical optics simulation results for the Simons Observatory Large Aperture Telescope. This work was developed as part of the general design process for…
The large scale polarization explorer (LSPE) for CMB measurements: performance forecast
The LSPE collaboration, G. Addamo, P. A. R. Ade +102
[Abridged] The measurement of the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation is one of the current frontiers in cosmology. In particular, the detection of the primor…
Progress report on the Large Scale Polarization Explorer
L. Lamagna, G. Addamo, P. A. R. Ade +96
The Large Scale Polarization Explorer (LSPE) is a cosmology program for the measurement of large scale curl-like features (B-modes) in the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Back…
Small Aperture Telescopes for the Simons Observatory
Aamir M. Ali, Shunsuke Adachi, Kam Arnold +49
The Simons Observatory (SO) is an upcoming cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment located on Cerro Toco, Chile, that will map the microwave sky in temperature and polarizatio…
