Unveiling the emergence and prevalence of massive/bright galaxies during the epoch of reionization and beyond, within the first 600 million years of the Universe, stands as a pivotal pursuit in astronomy. Remarkable progress has been made…
Spectroscopic observations of the far-infrared [O III] and [C II] lines present a pathway to explore the mechanisms of the emergence of massive galaxies in the epoch of reionization and beyond, which is one of the most fundamental questions…
The Deep Space Network (DSN) enables NASA to communicate with its spacecraft in deep space. By virtue of its large antennas, the DSN can also be used as a powerful instrument for radio astronomy. Specifically, Deep Space Station (DSS) 43,…
We report on the results of the on-sky test and science demonstration conducted with the 2 mm receiver system, B4R, on the 50 m Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT), located at an altitude of 4600 m in Mexico. The B4R receiver was developed…
Today, wide-open, high-resolution Doppler frequency shift (DFS) estimation is essential for radar, microwave/millimeter-wave, and communication systems. Using photonics technology, an effective approach is proposed and experimentally…
Dual sideband (2SB) receivers are well suited for the spectral observation of complex astronomical signals over a wide frequency range. They are extensively used in radio astronomy, their main advantages being to avoid spectral confusion…
The 3 mm wavelength spectra of 10 galaxies have been obtained at the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory using a new, very broadband receiver and spectrometer, called the Redshift Search Receiver (RSR). The RSR has an instantaneous…
In the context of the Galactic Emission Mapping collaboration, a galactic survey at 5GHz is in preparation to properly characterize the galactic foreground to the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). For the North sky survey, a new…
The core architecture, tests in the lab and first results of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) spectrometer are described. It is based on a commercially available fast digital sampler (AC240) with an on-board Field Programmable Gate Array…
In this paper we present an interference detection toolbox consisting of a high dynamic range Digital Fast-Fourier-Transform spectrometer (DFFT, based on FPGA-technology) and data analysis software for automated radio frequency interference…
We have developed a wideband receiver system for simultaneous observations in CO lines of J = 2-1 and J = 3-2 transitions using the Osaka 1.85-m mm-submm telescope. As a frequency separation system, we developed multiplexers that connect…
Three-millimeter-wavelength spectra of a number of nearby galaxies have been obtained at the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory (FCRAO) using a new, very broadband receiver. This instrument, which we call the Redshift Search Receiver,…
The goal of this thesis was to develop a procedure to optimize the mirror suppression, which reduces the dynamic range of the Fast Fourier Transform spectrometers (FFTS), and implement this procedure in the Field Programmable Gate Array…
We have designed and constructed a ``dispersed Fourier Transform Spectrometer'' (dFTS), consisting of a conventional FTS followed by a grating spectrometer. By combining these two devices, we negate a substantial fraction of the sensitivity…
We present the development and characterization of a generic, reconfigurable, low-cost ($<$ 350 USD) software-defined digital receiver system (DRS) for temporal correlation measurements in atomic spin ensembles. We demonstrate the use of…
Deep spectral-line surveys in the mm and sub-mm range can detect thousands of lines per band uncovering the rich chemistry of molecular clouds, star forming regions and circumstellar envelopes, among others objects. The ability to study the…
We report the spectral index of diffuse radio emission between 50 and 100 MHz from data collected with two implementations of the Experiment to Detect the Global EoR Signature (EDGES) low-band system. EDGES employs a wide beam…
We present a description of a new 1024x1024 Si:As array designed for ground-based use from 5 - 28 microns. With a maximum well depth of 5e6 electrons, this device brings large-format array technology to bear on ground-based mid-infrared…
We report absolutely calibrated measurements of diffuse radio emission between 90 and 190 MHz from the Experiment to Detect the Global EoR Signature (EDGES). EDGES employs a wide beam zenith-pointing dipole antenna centred on a declination…
It has been known for nearly three decades that high redshift radio galaxies exhibit steep radio spectra, and hence ultra-steep spectrum radio sources provide candidates for high-redshift radio galaxies. Nearly all radio galaxies with z > 3…
