Single Pixel Performance of the Kinetic Inductance Detectors for the Terahertz Intensity Mapper
The Terahertz Intensity Mapper (TIM) is a NASA far-infrared balloon mission designed to perform [CII] intensity map** of the peak of cosmic star formation. To achieve this goal, TIM will fly two grating spec...

Design of the Kinetic Inductance Detector Based Focal Plane Assembly for the Terahertz Intensity Mapper
We report on the kinetic inductance detector (KID) array focal plane assembly design for the Terahertz Intensity Mapper (TIM). Each of the 2 arrays consists of 4 wafer-sized dies (quadrants), and the overall a...

SPT-SLIM: A Line Intensity Map** Pathfinder for the South Pole Telescope
The South Pole Telescope Summertime Line Intensity Mapper (SPT-SLIM) is a pathfinder experiment that will demonstrate the use of on-chip filter-bank spectrometers for mm-wave line intensity map**. The SPT-SL...

Absorber Design and Optimization of Kinetic Inductance Detectors for the Terahertz Intensity Mapper
We discuss the design and optimization of the absorber for Terahertz Intensity Mapper, a balloon-borne kinetic inductance detector spectrometer. The novel “chain-link” absorber design offers excellent performa...

A massive core for a cluster of galaxies at a redshift of 4.3
Massive galaxy clusters have been found that date to times as early as three billion years after the Big Bang, containing stars that formed at even earlier epochs1–3. The high-redshift progenitors of these galaxy...

Galaxy growth in a massive halo in the first billion years of cosmic history
Two extremely massive galaxies are seen 800 million years after the Big Bang, showing the rapid growth of early structure and marking the most massive halo known in that era.

Dusty starburst galaxies in the early Universe as revealed by gravitational lensing
A spectroscopic redshift survey of extraordinarily bright millimetre-wave-selected sources of carbon monoxide line emission — originating from star-forming molecular gas — shows that at least ten of these sour...

A massive, cooling-flow-induced starburst in the core of a luminous cluster of galaxies
X-ray, optical and infrared observations reveal a very high rate of star formation in the core of an extremely luminous galaxy cluster; this starburst seems to be triggered by a cooling flow of the dense intra...

Optical and Thermal Properties of ANL/KICP Polarization Sensitive Bolometers for SPTpol
We present recent optical and thermal characterizations of polarization sensitive mm-wave bolometers fabricated at Argonne National Lab. The devices are designed to measure the polarization of the Cosmic Micro...

An Overview of the SPTpol Experiment
In 2012 the South Pole Telescope (SPT) will begin a 625 deg2 survey to measure the polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Observations of the CMB B-mode angular power spectrum will be u...

SMA observations of the magnetic fields around a low-mass protostellar system
Observations of the submillimeter polarized dust emission is an important tool to study the role of the magnetic fields in the evolutions of molecular clouds and in the star formation processes. The Submillim...

The Polarization Properties of Sgr A∗ at Submillimeter Wavelengths
We have placed an upper limit on the magnitude of the rotation measure of 7 × 10^5 rad m-2 for the putative Faraday screen (magnetized plasma) in front of Sgr A*, the radio source associated with the black hole i...
