(author), Hoervers, H. (author), Jackson, B. (author)At the Netherlands Institute for Space Research (SRON) we are developing Transition Edge Sensors (TES) bolometers for the SAFARI Imaging Spectrometer on the SPICA telescope. With the current design of the SPICA telescope a background magnetic field of about a Gauss with fluctuations of a couple percent is expected. The effect of this external...journal article 2012

Khosropanah, P. (author), Hijmering, R.A. (author), Ridder, M. (author), Lindeman, M.A. (author), Gottardi, L. (author), Bruijn, M. (author), Van der Kuur, J. (author), de Korte, P.A.J. (author), Gao, J.R. (author), Hoevers, H. (author)Transition edge sensors (TES) are the chosen detector technology for the SAFARI imaging spectrometer on the SPICA telescope. The TES are required to have an NEP of 2–3 × 10?19 W/? Hz to take full advantage of the cooled mirror. SRON has developed TiAu TES bolometers for the short wavelength band (30–60 ?m). The TES are on SiN membranes, in which...journal article 2012
