Abstract

The Terahertz Intensity Mapper (TIM) [1,2], a balloon-borne telescope funded by NASA, is set to measure [CII] emission from star forming galaxies over a vast cosmic volume. We will present an overview of TIM's cryogenic receiver design, its thermal modeling, and the ongoing characterization efforts in preparation for the Antarctic flight scheduled for 2026.
