Probing Radio Intensity at High-Z from Marion: 2017 Instrument

Liju Philip, Zara Abdurashidova, H. C. Chiang et al. · 11 Dec 2018

We introduce Probing Radio Intensity at high-Z from Marion (PRI Z M), a new experiment designed to measure the globally averaged sky brightness, including the expected redshifted 21[Formula: see text]cm neutral hydrogen absorption feature arising from the formation of the first stars. PRI Z M consists of two dual-polarization antennas operating at central frequencies of…

HAWC+, the Far-Infrared Camera and Polarimeter for SOFIA

D. A. Harper, M. C. Runyan, C. D. Dowell et al. · 23 Jul 2018

High-resolution Airborne Wide-band Camera (HAWC[Formula: see text]) is the facility far-infrared imager and polarimeter for SOFIA, NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy. It is designed to cover the portion of the infrared spectrum that is completely inaccessible to ground-based observatories and which is essential for studies of astronomical sources with temperatures between tens and hundreds…

FIRST LIGHT FOR THE FIRST STATION OF THE LONG WAVELENGTH ARRAY

G. B. Taylor, Steven W. Ellingson, N. E. Kassim et al. · 8 Aug 2012

The first station of the Long Wavelength Array (LWA1) was completed in April 2011 and is currently performing observations resulting from its first call for proposals in addition to a continuing program of commissioning and characterization observations. The instrument consists of 258 dual-polarization dipoles, which are digitized and combined into beams. Four independently-steerable dual-polarization beams…

A Decade of Developing Radio-Astronomy Instrumentation using CASPER Open-Source Technology

J. Hickish, Zuhra Abdurashidova, Zaki S. Ali et al. · 1 Dec 2016

The Collaboration for Astronomy Signal Processing and Electronics Research (CASPER) has been working for a decade to reduce the time and cost of designing, building and deploying new digital radio-astronomy instruments. Today, CASPER open-source technology powers over 45 scientific instruments worldwide, and is used by scientists and engineers at dozens of academic institutions. In this…

The upGREAT Dual Frequency Heterodyne Arrays for SOFIA

C. Risacher, R. Güsten, J. Stützki et al. · 13 Nov 2018

We present the performance of the upGREAT heterodyne array receivers on the SOFIA telescope after several years of operations. This instrument is a multi-pixel high resolution ([Formula: see text]) spectrometer for the Stratospheric Observatory for Far-Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). The receivers use 7-pixel subarrays configured in a hexagonal layout around a central pixel. The low frequency…

Journal of Astronomical Instrumentation template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Astronomical Instrumentation format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Astronomical Instrumentation template.
