Abstract :
We present multicolor images of Jupiter observed in the 350 μ m band with the first deployed astronomical instrument to use multiplexed superconducting bolometers. The Fabry–Perot Interferometer Bolometer Research Experiment (FIBRE) is a broadband submillimeter spectrometer that made these images in July 2004 at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO). FIBREs detectors are superconducting bilayer transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers read out by a SQUID multiplexer. An order-sorted Fabry–Perot provides illumination of a 16-element linear bolometer array, resulting in five orders at a spectral resolution R of 1200 covering a band of 1 7 of the observed wavelength. The optics permit these orders to be scanned to cover the entirety of either the 350 or 450 μ m bands.
