In-Flight Performance of Spider’s 280 GHz Receivers

Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: 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 area in the Southern Hemisphere using more than 2000 transition-edge sensors (TESs) during two […]

Modeling parity-violating spectra in Galactic dust polarization with filaments and its applications to cosmic birefringence searches

Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Carlos Hervías-Caimapo, Ari J. Cukierman, Patricia Diego-Palazuelos, Kevin M. Huffenberger, Susan E. Clark | Summary: We extend the dust-filament-based model presented in Herv’ias-Caimapo & Huffenberger 2022 to produce parity-violating foreground spectra by manipulating the filament orientations relative to the magnetic field. We calibrate our model to […]

EDEN: Exploring Disks Embedded in N-body simulations of Milky-Way-mass halos from Symphony

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Yunchong Wang, Philip Mansfield, Ethan O. Nadler, Elise Darragh-Ford, Risa H. Wechsler | Summary: We investigate the impact of galactic disks on the tidal stripping of cold dark matter subhalos within Milky Way (MW)-mass halos ($M_{rm vir}sim 10^{12}mathrm{M_{odot}}$) using a new simulation suite, EDEN. By re-simulating […]
