The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Probing new signatures of ultralight axions with gravitational lensing
Alex Laguë, Keir K. Rogers, Mathew S. Madhavacheril +14
Ultralight axions (ULAs) are well-motivated dark matter particle candidates that arise in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. ULAs with mass $m_\mathrm{a} \l…
Detection of the Pairwise Kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect and Pairwise Velocity with DESI DR1 Galaxies and ACT DR6 and Planck CMB Data
Yulin Gong, Patricio A. Gallardo, Rachel Bean +50
We present a 9.3-sigma detection of the pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) effect by combining a sample of 913,286 Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) from the Dark Energy Spectro…
Exploring gas thermodynamics around galaxies from the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effects: impact of galaxy-halo connection, 2D projection and velocity field
Sadaf Kadir, Bernardita Ried Guachalla, Sihan Yuan +2
A complete picture of the gas thermodynamics around galaxies is imprinted on the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Indeed, the thermal, kinematic, and relativistic Sunyaev-Zel'dov…
Measurements of the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect with ACT and DESI Luminous Red Galaxies
R. Henry Liu, Simone Ferraro, Emmanuel Schaan +54
Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) photons scatter off the free-electron gas in galaxies and clusters, allowing us to use the CMB as a backlight to probe the gas in and around low-r…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Constraints on Local Non-Gaussianity from the ACT Cluster Catalog
Leonid Sarieddine, J. Richard Bond, Matt Hilton +8
We derive constraints on local-type primordial non-Gaussianity using the ACT DR6 Sunyaev--Zel'dovich cluster catalog. Modeling the redshift- and mass-dependent number counts of 1,2…
The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: DR6 Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Selected Galaxy Clusters Catalog
HSC Collaboration, M. Aguena, S. Aiola +98
We present the results of a search for galaxy clusters in the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) Data Release 6 (DR6) microwave sky maps covering 16293 square degrees in three frequ…
