Design Concept of ASTE Polarimeter (APol)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment Polarimeter is an integrated module that enables magnetic field imaging on the 10m dish telescope. APol works in combination with a transition edge sensor bolometer camera covering 245 to 370 GHz. Herein we introduce the design concept and latest progress.

GRAPE - A Balloon-Borne Gamma-Ray Polarimeter Experiment
This paper reviews the development status of GRAPE (the GammaRay Polarimeter Experiment), a hard X-ray Compton Polarimeter. The purpose of GRAPE is to measure the polarization of hard X-rays in the 50-300 keV energy range. We are particularly interested in X-rays that are emitted from solar flares and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), although GRAPE could also be employed in the study of other astrophys...
متن کاملTriple Wollaston-prism complete-Stokes imaging polarimeter.
Imaging polarimetry is emerging as a powerful tool for remote sensing in space science, Earth science, biology, defense, national security, and industry. Polarimetry provides complementary information about a scene in the visible and infrared wavelengths. For example, surface texture, material composition, and molecular structure will affect the polarization state of reflected, scattered, or em...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Hard X-Ray Polarimeter for Solar Flares and Gamma-Ray Bursts
We describe recent work on the development of a Compton scatter polarimeter for measuring the polarization of hard X-rays (100–300 keV) from astrophysical sources. Results from measurements with a laboratory prototype are summarized, along with comparisons to Monte Carlo simulations. We also present our latest design concept, which envisions a complete polarimeter module on the front end of a 5...
متن کاملApolipoprotein L gene family: tissue-specific expression, splicing, promoter regions; discovery of a new gene.
Previously we identified and cloned the cDNA for a new protein, apolipoprotein L (apoL), present in plasma and mainly associated with large high density lipoprotein particles. Using 5' rapid amplification of cDNA ends, RT-PCR and comparison with three Human Genome Project and three expressed sequence tag sequences, we have characterized the gene for apoL and for three additional, highly homolog...
متن کاملDynamics of membrane protein/amphipol association studied by Förster resonance energy transfer: implications for in vitro studies of amphipol-stabilized membrane proteins.
Amphipols (APols) are short amphipathic polymers that can substitute for detergents to keep membrane proteins (MPs) water-soluble while stabilizing them biochemically. We have examined the factors that determine the size and dispersity of MP/APol complexes and studied the dynamics of the association, taking as a model system the transmembrane domain of Escherichia coli outer membrane protein A ...
