  • Download by parachute: retrieval of assets from high altitude balloons 
    Sirks, Ellen L.; Clark, P.; Massey, Richard J.; Benton, S. J.; Brown, A. M.; Damaren, Christopher J.; Eifler, Tim; Fraisse, Aurélien A.; Frenk, Carlos; Funk, M.; Galloway, Mathew; Gill, Ajay; Hartley, John W.; Holder, Bradley; Huff, Eric M.; Jauzac, Mathilde; Jones, William C.; Lagattuta, David; Leung, Jason S.-Y.; Li, L.; Luu, Thuy Vy T.; McCleary, Jacqueline; Netterfield, Calvin Barth; Redmond, S.; Rhodes, Jason D.; Romualdez, L. Javier; Schmoll, Jürgen; Shaaban, Mohamed M.; Tam, Sut-Ieng (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    We present a publicly-available toolkit of flight-proven hardware and software to retrieve 5 TB of data or small physical samples from a stratospheric balloon platform. Before launch, a capsule is attached to the balloon, ...
  • Robust diffraction-limited near-infrared-to-near-ultraviolet wide-field imaging from stratospheric balloon-borne platforms—Super-pressure Balloon-borne Imaging Telescope performance 
    Romualdez, L. Javier; Benton, Steven J.; Brown, Anthony M.; Clark, Paul; Damaren, Christopher J.; Eifler, Tim; Fraisse, Aurélien A.; Galloway, Mathew; Gill, Ajay; Hartley, John W.; Holder, Bradley; Huff, Eric M.; Jauzac, Mathilde; Jones, William C.; Lagattuta, David; Leung, Jason S.-Y.; Li, Lun; Luu, Thuy Vy T.; Massey, Richard J.; McCleary, Jacqueline; Mullaney, James; Nagy, Johanna M.; Netterfield, Calvin Barth; Redmond, Susan; Rhodes, Jason D.; Schmoll, Jürgen; Shaaban, Mohamed M.; Sirks, Ellen; Tam, Sut-Ieng (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2020)
    At a fraction of the total cost of an equivalent orbital mission, scientific balloon-borne platforms, operating above 99.7% of the Earth’s atmosphere, offer attractive, competitive, and effective observational capabilities—namely, ...
  • Weak Lensing in the Blue: A Counter-intuitive Strategy for Stratospheric Observations 
    Shaaban, Mohamed M.; Gill, Ajay S.; McCleary, Jacqueline; Massey, Richard; Benton, Steven J.; Brown, Anthony M.; Damaren, Christopher J.; Eifler, Tim; Fraisse, Aurelien A.; Everett, Spencer; Galloway, Mathew; Henderson, Michael; Holder, Bradley; Huff, Eric M.; Jauzac, Mathilde; Jones, William C.; Lagattuta, David; Leung, Jason S.-Y.; Li, Lun; Luu, Thuy Vy T.; Nagy, Johanna M.; Netterfield, C. Barth; Redmond, Susan F.; Rhodes, Jason D.; Robertson, Andrew; Schmoll, Jürgen; Sirks, Ellen; Sivanandam, Suresh (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    Abstract The statistical power of weak lensing measurements is principally driven by the number of high-redshift galaxies whose shapes are resolved. Conventional wisdom and physical intuition suggest this is ...
