Effect of Mo/Cu Superconducting Bilayer Geometry on Ultra-Sensitive Transition-Edge Sensor Performance
Andrew D. Beyer,Pierre Echternach,M. Kenyon,Marcus Runyan,B. Bumble,Charles M. Bradford,J. J. Bock,W. A. Holmes +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a membrane-isolated transition-edge sensors (TESs) for the background-limited infrared/sub-mm spectrograph using Mo/Cu superconducting bilayer thermistors of varying geometry and found that undesired proximity effects, including the so-called longitudinal proximity effect (LoPE) and the latitudinal inverse proximity effect, affect both the superconducted transition temperature TC and the sharpness of the transition α = dlogR/dlogT.

Electrical and Thermal Characterization of Membrane-Isolated, Antenna-Coupled, TES Bolometers for the SPIDER Experiment
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal and DC electrical properties of transition-edge sensing (TES) bolometers to be employed on the SPIDER experiment, a balloon-based observatory for studying the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB), were measured.

Characterization of Antenna-Coupled TES Bolometers for the Spider Experiment
TL;DR: In this paper, the transition edge sensors (TESs) were employed on the Spider experiment, a balloon-based observatory whose goal is detecting the imprint of gravitational waves by mapping the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB).

TL;DR: In this paper, surface micromachined thin-film metallized Si_xN_y optical absorbers for transition-edge sensors (TESs) suitable for the Background-Limited far IR/Submm Spectrograph (BLISS) are presented.
Seasonal Variations of Titan's Brightness
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the seasonal variations of Titan's emitted power and found that the global average emitted power decreased by 6.8 ± 0.4% during the Cassini period (2004-2017).
