KISS: instrument description and performance
J. F. Macías-Pérez, M. Fernández-Torreiro, A. Catalano +35
Kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) have been proven as reliable systems for astrophysical observations, especially in the millimetre range. Their compact size enables to optimally…
CONCERTO: Readout and control electronics
O. Bourrion, C. Hoarau, J. Bounmy +11
The CONCERTO spectral-imaging instrument was installed at the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX) 12-meter telescope in April 2021. It has been designed to look at radiation emitt…
Observations with KIDs Interferometer Spectrum Survey(KISS)
A. Fasano, A. Catalano, J. F. Macías-Pérez +33
We describe the preliminary on-sky results of the KIDs Interferometer Spectrum Survey (KISS), a spectral imager with a 1 deg field of view (FoV). The instrument operates in the ran…
CONCERTO at APEX: Installation and first phase of on-sky commissioning
A. Catalano, P. Ade, M. Aravena +40
CONCERTO (CarbON CII line in post-rEionisation and ReionisaTiOn) is a large field-of-view (FoV) spectro-imager that has been installed on the Cassegrain Cabin of Atacama Pathfinder…
Accurate sky signal reconstruction for ground-based spectroscopy with kinetic inductance detectors
A. Fasano., J. F. Macías-Pérez, A. Benoit +33
Context. Wide-field spectrometers are needed to deal with current astrophysical challenges that require multiband observations at millimeter wavelengths. An example of these is the…
CONCERTO at APEX: installation and technical commissioning
A. Monfardini, A. Beelen, A. Benoit +41
We describe the deployment and first tests on Sky of CONCERTO, a large field-of-view (18.6arc-min) spectral-imaging instrument. The instrument operates in the range 130-310GHz from…
A wide field-of-view low-resolution spectrometer at APEX: instrument design and science forecast
The CONCERTO collaboration, P. Ade, M. Aravena +36
Characterise the large-scale structure in the Universe from present times to the high redshift epoch of reionisation is essential to constraining the cosmology, the history of star…
The KISS experiment
A. Fasano, M. Aguiar, A. Benoit +30
Mapping millimetre continuum emission has become a key issue in modern multi-wavelength astrophysics. In particular, spectrum-imaging at low frequency resolution is an asset for ch…
KISS: a spectrometric imager for millimetre cosmology
A. Fasano, M. Aguiar, A. Benoit +27
Clusters of galaxies are used to map the large-scale structures in the universe and as probe of universe evolution. They can be observed through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect.…
The NIKA2 instrument at 30-m IRAM telescope: performance and results
A. Catalano, R. Adam, P. A. R. Ade +84
The New IRAM KID Arrays 2 (NIKA2) consortium has just finished installing and commissioning a millimetre camera on the IRAM 30 m telescope. It is a dual-band camera operating with…
NIKEL_AMC: Readout electronics for the NIKA2 experiment
O. Bourrion, A. Benoit, J. L. Bouly +11
The New Iram Kid Arrays-2 (NIKA2) instrument has recently been installed at the IRAM 30 m telescope. NIKA2 is a state-of-art instrument dedicated to mm-wave astronomy using microwa…
The NIKA2 instrument, a dual-band kilopixel KID array for millimetric astronomy
M. Calvo, A. Benoit, A. Catalano +45
NIKA2 (New IRAM KID Array 2) is a camera dedicated to millimeter wave astronomy based upon kilopixel arrays of Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID). The pathfinder instrument, NIKA,…
