Journal ArticleDOI

The optical design and characterization of the microwave anisotropy probe

TL;DR: The MAP satellite as discussed by the authors is a differential microwave radiometer that makes high-fidelity polarization-sensitive maps of the full sky in five frequency bands between 20 and 100 GHz, from which the properties of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy and Galactic and extragalactic emission are characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Submillimeter observations of millimeter bright galaxies discovered by the south pole telescope

Thomas R. Greve, +74 more
TL;DR: In this article, the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the rare, extremely bright (_( 1.4 mm) > 15 mJy), dust-dominated millimeter-selected galaxies recently discovered by the South Pole Telescope was modeled using a simple modified blackbody.
Journal ArticleDOI

A measurement of the cosmic microwave background gravitational lensing potential from 100 square degrees of sptpol data

K. T. Story, +78 more
TL;DR: In this article, a measurement of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) gravitational lensing potential using data from the first two seasons of observations with SPTpol, the polarization-sensitive receiver currently installed on the South Pole Telescope is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calibration of the COBE FIRAS instrument

TL;DR: The Far-Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer (FIRAS) instrument on the COBE satellite was designed to accurately measure the spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) in the frequency range 1-95/cm with an angular resolution of 7 deg as discussed by the authors.
