The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Constraints on the anisotropic screening and birefringence effects with DR6

Darby M. Kramer, Alexander van Engelen, Frank J. Qu +14

While we have learned much from recent surveys of the mm-wave sky, many secondary anisotropies of the CMB remain under-explored. We consider two of these here: the anisotropic scre…
