Lessons Learned from the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter
Telescope, BLAST
Marco Viero, University of Toronto
| BLAST was a balloon-born pathfinder for the SPIRE instrument on the Herschel space observatory. Its successful 2006 flight produced numerous Galactic and extragalactic scientific results, albeit after two years of often difficult analyses. I will focus on selected extragalactic results, and the lessons learned in preparation for similar analyses with Herschel. |
