🎉 Just published in ApJ! Our paper on the first measurement of the reionization optical depth with ground based data! 🎉 We already have twice as much data in the can, so hopefully we'll have an updated result soon! #NSFfunded iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3...
Beautiful new reflective half-wave plate being made here. The copper sheen is about a kilometer's worth of 100 µm wire. Though admittedly with the handles and the color it looks like paella 🥘!
🚀 Science Fair day in San Pedro de Atacama, the main local community close to the telescopes 🇨🇱🫶 The CLASS site team Deniz and Jullianna created and hosted an interactive display about the telescopes and cosmology for students and other residents! 💫
!!! Congratulations to Rui Shi for successfully defending her PhD thesis: "Cosmology Large Angular Scale Surveyor: From Instrumentation to Beyond the Standard Model" !!!
🇧🇷 Brazilian CLASSmates, Jullianna and Deniz, receive an official "Motion of Applause" from the city council of their hometown for their work with CLASS and the recent results! 👏

🐝🐝🐝 The CLASS site team has been busy! 🐝🐝🐝 Here is a video of them assembling the new receiver, which comes together as nested layers. When operating, all layers are under vacuum, and outer layers thermally shield colder layers underneath. The innermost is at 0.05 Kelvin!
New detectors are installed on the new 90 GHz receiver at our Chile site! Go team!!
The new array of 90 GHz detector modules is assembled in Chile. Ready to go into the new telescope! #NSFfunded
