Kavli Affiliate: Richard Hills | Summary:We have implemented control and data-taking software that makes it possible to scan the beams of individual ALMA antennas to perform quite complex patterns while recording the signals at high rates. We conducted test observations of the Sun in September and December, 2014. The data returned have excellent quality; in […]

Kavli Affiliate: E. P. S. Shellard | Summary:We describe the detection, interpretation, and removal of the signal resulting from interactions of high energy particles with the Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI). There are two types of interactions: heating of the 0.1,K bolometer plate; and glitches in each detector time stream. The transient responses to detector […]
