CCAT: Silicon-Platelet Feedhorns for Submillimeter Wavelengths
Jason Austermann, James Beall, James R. Burgoyne +12
Silicon-platelet feedhorn arrays are an established technology at millimeter wavelengths that, for some applications, can provide significant advantages over traditional direct-mac…
Development of Silicon Micromachined Waveguide Filter-Banks for On-Chip Spectrometers
Matthew A. Koc, Jason Austermann, James Beall +4
Development of high-speed, spatial-mapping spectrometers in the millimeter and far-infrared frequencies would enable entirely new research avenues in astronomy and cosmology. An "o…
In-Flight Performance of Spider's 280 GHz Receivers
Elle C. Shaw, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +84
SPIDER is a balloon-borne instrument designed to map the cosmic microwave background at degree-angular scales in the presence of Galactic foregrounds. SPIDER has mapped a large sky…
The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase
Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279
The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…
System performance of a cryogenic test-bed for the time-division multiplexing readout for NewAthena X-IFU
Davide Vaccaro, Jan van der Kuur, Paul van der Hulst +23
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) is an instrument of ESA's future NewAthena space observatory, with the goal to provide high-energy resolution ( 4 eV at X-ray energies up t…
Simons Observatory: Pre-deployment Performance of a Large Aperture Telescope Optics Tube in the 90 and 150 GHz Spectral Bands
Carlos E. Sierra, Kathleen Harrington, Shreya Sutariya +42
The Simons Observatory will map the temperature and polarization over half of the sky, at millimeter wavelengths in six spectral bands from the Atacama Desert in Chile. These data…
