Welcome to Caltech Observational Cosmology!
Our group develops novel
instrumentation in order to study the birth and evolution of the universe. Here are the projects that we are currently involved in:
|
ACBAR
(Arcminute Cosmology Bolometer Array Receiver) ACBAR is currently imaging the CMB at multiple frequencies with 4' resolution from the Viper telescope at the South Pole.
|
|
BICEP
(Background Imaging of Cosmological Extragalactic Polarization) BICEP will map degree-scale CMB polarization from the South Pole.
|
|
Bolocam
A a large format, mm-wave camera used at the Caltech Sub-millimeter Observatory to achieve high mapping speed and 1' resolution.
|
|
Boomerang
(Balloon-borne Observations Of Millimetric Extragalactic Radiation And Geophysics) is currently being prepared for a second Long Duration Balloon-borne flight above the Antarctic later this year.
|
|
Planck Surveyor HFI
We are responsible for building the bolometric detectors for the High Frequency Instrument on the Planck Surveyor. Planck will map the entire sky with 5' resolution in 2007/2008.
|
|
Polatron
A Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimeter, will achieve 2.5' resolution at 90 GHz from the Owens Valley 5m telescope.
|
|
SAMBA
(Superconducting Antenna-coupled Millimeter-wave Bolometer Array) SAMBA is a radically new detector architecture that we are developing for future applications.
