Planck pre-launch status: calibration of the Low Frequency Instrument flight model radiometers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the on-ground calibration campaign performed to qualify the flight model RCAs and to measure their pre-launch performances, including spectral response of each detector, as well as their susceptibility to thermal variation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optical Characterization of OMT-Coupled TES Bolometers for LiteBIRD

Johannes Hubmayr, +316 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discuss the design and optical characterization of two LiteBIRD HFT detector types: dual-polarization, dual-frequency-band pixels with 195/280 GHz and 235/337 GHz band centers.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Concept Design of Low Frequency Telescope for CMB B-mode Polarization satellite LiteBIRD

Yutaro Sekimoto, +264 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a cross-drone configuration for the low frequency telescope (LFT : 34-161 GHz), one of LiteBIRD's onboard telescopes, with a wide field-of-view (FoV) with an aperture of 400 mm in diameter, corresponding to an angular resolution of about 30 arcminutes around 100 GHz.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

The InfraRed Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) for TMT: photometric characterization of anisoplanatic PSFs and testing of PSF-Reconstruction via AIROPA

TL;DR: In this paper, anisoplanatic and instrumental reconstruction of off-axis PSFs for AO (AIROPA) software package is used to conduct photometric measurements on simulated frames using PSF-fitting as the PSF varies in single-source, binary, and crowded field use cases.

Planck focal plane instruments: advanced modelization and combined analysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented their work as research fellow at IASF-MI, Milan section of the Istituto di Astrofisica Spaziale e Fisica Cosmica, part of INAF, and the main topic of their work was the software modelling of the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) radiometers.
