Pre-Flight Simulation of DESHIMA2.0: Observation of a High-Redshift Galaxy with the Current DESHIMA2.0 Instrument on the ASTE Telescope

To better understand the formation of stars in dusty star-forming galaxies (DSFGs), and the evolution of this type of submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), it is of high significance to perform submillimeter/far-infrared surveys. The Deep Spectroscopic High-redshift Mapper 2.0 (DESHIMA2.0) on the ASTE telescope in Chile has been designed to observe the...

Analysing the Performance of SPLITTER: A Noise Removal Algorithm for DESHIMA 2.0

More insight has been gathered on the performance of the SPLITTER (Stationary spectrum Plus Low-rank Iterative TransmiTtance EstimatoR) algorithm as developed by Brackenhoff for denoising data gathered from observations of high-redshift galaxies. By using matrix decomposition to split the gathered data into a low-rank atmosphere matrix and a...

Photon-bunching in ground-based submillimeter-wave astronomy

DESHIMA (the Deep Spectroscopic High-Redshift Mapper) is a 347 channel superconducting spectrometer with spectral resolution R =500 that operates in the range of 220GHz to 440GHz and can therefore accurately measure the frequency of spectral lines in order to calculate redshift z.<br/>This report investigates the sensitivity of DESHIMA-like...
