Reflective Toraldo pupil for high-resolution millimeter-wave astronomy [PDF]
A novel, to the best of our knowledge, beam-shaping reflective surface for high-resolution millimeter/submillimeter-wave astronomy instruments is presented. The reflector design is based on Toraldo’s super-resolution principle and implemented with annulated binary-phase coronae structure inspired by the achromatic magnetic mirror approach. A thin, less

Compact radiative control structures for millimeter astronomy [PDF]
We have designed, fabricated, and tested compact radiative control structures, including antireflection coatings and resonant absorbers, for millimeter through submillimeter wave astronomy. The antireflection coatings consist of micromachined single crystal silicon dielectric sub-wavelength honeycombs.

Models of Millimeter and Radio Emission from Interacting Supernovae
This work utilizes established models of synchrotron-powered light curves for core-collapse supernovae in dense circumstellar environments, namely, type IIn and Ibn, to demonstrate the potential for detecting millimeter emission from these events.

Millimeter/submillimeter fourier transform spectroscopy of Jovian planet atmospheres [PDF]
A new Fourier transform spectrometer, built for use at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory, has been used to observe all four of the jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) in the millimeter-submillimeter wavelength range (0.3- 3.0 mm).

Development of Flat Silicon-Based Mesh Lens Arrays for Millimeter and Sub-millimeter Wave Astronomy [PDF]
AbstractThe high sensitivity requirements set by future cosmic microwave background instruments are pushing the current technologies to produce highly performant focal plane arrays with thousands of detectors. The coupling of the detectors to the telescope optics is a challenging task.
