(author), Thoen, David (author)Understanding telescope pointing (i.e. line of sight) is important for observing the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and astronomical objects. The Moon is a candidate astronomical source for pointing calibration. Although the visible size of the Moon (30<sup>`</sup>) is larger than that of the planets, we can frequently observe the Moon...journal article 2024

(author), Brandl, B.R. (author), Endo, A. (author)Context. Integrated superconducting spectrometers (ISSs) for wide-band submillimeter (submm) astronomy use quasi-optical systems for coupling radiation from the telescope to the instrument. Misalignment in these systems is detrimental to the system performance. The common method of using an optical laser to align the quasi-optical components...journal article 2024
