The Simons Observatory: Studies of Detector Yield and Readout Noise From the First Large-Scale Deployment of Microwave Multiplexing at the Large Aperture Telescope

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Thomas P. Satterthwaite, Zeeshan Ahmed, Kyuyoung Bae, Mark Devlin, Simon Dicker | Summary: The Simons Observatory is a new ground-based cosmic microwave background experiment, which is currently being commissioned in Chile’s Atacama Desert. During its survey, the observatory’s small aperture telescopes will map 10% of the sky […]

Constraining Inflation with the BICEP/Keck CMB Polarization Experiments

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: The BICEP/Keck Collaboration, :, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri | Summary: The BICEP/$textit{Keck}$ (BK) series of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiments has, over the past decade and a half, produced a series of field-leading constraints on cosmic inflation via measurements of the "B-mode" […]

A Joint X-ray and Optical Study of the Massive Redback Pulsar J2215+5135

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: PSR J2215+5135 (J2215) is a `redback’ spider pulsar, where the intrabinary shock (IBS) wraps around the pulsar rather than the stellar-mass companion. Spider orbital light curves are modulated, dominated by their binary companion thermal emission in […]
