NIKA1: the first kSZ map Astronomy & Astrophysics 598, A115 (2017)
NIKA2 status • - Operational since January 2016 at the 30-meters telescope • Open to the astronomy community since 2017 • Currently observing (available on semester base via competitive calls) • Most powerful mm-wave camera on single dish open to the community • 3,000 pixels split into three arrays: • 150 and 260 GHz photometry • polarisation at 260GHz • FoV of 6.5 arc-min • resolution of 11arc-sec at 260GHz
NIKA2 arrays After noise and stability cuts, the number used for published maps is lower
NIKA2: clusters and deep fields + a recent detection of a GRB afterglow
Arrays cosmetics: post-processing Shu Shibo (PhD Thesis) Starting from a typical array: 1) we obtain a map with the sky simulator 2) We identify the pixels with The resonances 3) We calculate a correction to be implemented on the last C finger 4) We do the correction by litho + etching 5) We measure again POSSIBLE TO OBTAIN PRACTICALLY PERFECT RESONANCE PLACING !!! • APL 113, Issue 8, 082603 (2018)
R&T “low background” • Optical NEPs • Pixels in 100s pix arrays • Measured with MUX • f = 80 – 650 GHz Funded by CNES, realised by CNRS Grenoble
R&T “cosmic rays” One NIKA1 array, under realistic background conditions (0.5 pW/pix) and sensitivity (10-17 W/Hz0.5), irradiated with 630-keV alphas. For any useful sampling frequency only one sample is affected. https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.00719 (SPIE 2016) From the functional point-of-view (array on a satellite) it seems OK already Confirmed by OLIMPO ! Funded by CNES, realised by CNRS Grenoble
Low-resolution spectroscopy • NIKA2 is already doing high-resolution large FoV mm-wave imaging. The polarisation at 260GHz is also implemented. • STRATEGY: adding the spectral dimension: • preserving the large field-of-view and angular resolution (many pixels) • Low resolution (R 20-100), not competing with other techniques • Science cases are VERY STRONG • Feasible today (see OLIMPO and KISS) • CONCERTO is equivalent from DAQ and analysis point-of-view to 0.6Mpix !

SKID vs. KID • KID are wideband(imaging) , SKID are selective in energy • (spectroscopy) • SKID break the « T < 0.2 · (frequency / 100 GHz) » rule • that KID must obey • For SKID, highly-anarmonic materials (low Jc) are most • adapted. In KID the highest Jc results in better S/N • KIDhave already natural applications in low-resolution • visible-NIR spectroscopy and for mm and sub-mm continuum • Astronomy. SKID applications and competitivity with respect • to other technologies are still to be investigated.
Conclusions • A « W band » camera of hundreds to thousands pixels is feasible • I think it will need a dilution or ADR (if it has to be optimised) • Polarisation splitting can be achieved on-chip, with an OMT or with a 45 deg polariser • An application for the SKID ? Probably not … but I try …
