TL;DR: A flagship ESA L-class mission – consisting of an orbiter with a single atmospheric entry probe and flybys of the main satellites – would be able to address the set of science questions which are identified in the study at hand as the most essential for the understanding of Uranus and its system.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Optical modeling of waveguide coupled TES detectors towards the SAFARI instrument for SPICA
Neil Trappe,C. Bracken,Stephen Doherty,J. R. Gao,J. R. Gao,Dorota Glowacka,David J. Goldie,Douglas Griffin,R. A. Hijmering,Brian Jackson,Pourya Khosropanah,P. Mauskopf,Dmitry Morozov,Anna Murphy,Créidhe O'Sullivan,Marcel L. Ridder,Stafford Withington +16 more
TL;DR: A modal analysis of multi-moded horn antennas feeding integrating cavities housing TES detectors with superconducting film absorbers is described, offering a computationally efficient technique to describe the partial coherent response of the full pixel in terms of optical efficiency and power leakage between pixels.

TL;DR: The progress and results of the ongoing FP7-FISICA program to re-asses the scientific goals of a Far-Infrared Space Interfereometer and push the development of some of its key technology elements are reported as discussed by the authors.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Efficient algorithms for optimising the optical performance of profiled smooth walled horns for future CMB and Far-IR missions
D. McCarthy,Neil Trappe,J. Anthony Murphy,Créidhe O'Sullivan,Marcin Gradziel,Stephen Doherty,C. Bracken,Niall Tynan,Arturo Martin Polegre,Peter G. Huggard +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated smooth-walled horn antennas that have an equivalent optical performance to that of corrugated horns traditionally used for CMB measurements, and presented a computationally efficient approach for modelling and optimising horn characteristics.
