The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Dynamical masses for 44 SZ-selected galaxy clusters over 755 square degrees

Cristóbal Sifón, Nick Battaglia, Matthew Hasselfield +22

We present galaxy velocity dispersions and dynamical mass estimates for 44 galaxy clusters selected via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. Dynam…

Evidence for the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeľdovich effect with ACTPol and velocity reconstruction from BOSS

Emmanuel Schaan, Simone Ferraro, Mariana Vargas-Magaña +43

We use microwave temperature maps from two seasons of data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACTPol) at 146 GHz, together with the Constant Mass CMASS galaxy sample from the Ba…

Advanced ACTPol Cryogenic Detector Arrays and Readout

S. W. Henderson, R. Allison, J. Austermann +54

Advanced ACTPol is a polarization-sensitive upgrade for the 6 m aperture Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), adding new frequencies and increasing sensitivity over the previous ACTP…

Evidence for the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Associated with Quasar Feedback

Devin Crichton, Megan B. Gralla, Kirsten Hall +20

Using a radio-quiet subsample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectroscopic quasar catalogue, spanning redshifts 0.5-3.5, we derive the mean millimetre and far-infrared quasar spec…

Weak-Lensing Mass Calibration of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope Equatorial Sunyaev-Zeldovich Cluster Sample with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Stripe 82 Survey

N. Battaglia, A. Leauthaud, H. Miyatake +39

Mass calibration uncertainty is the largest systematic effect for using clusters of galaxies to constrain cosmological parameters. We present weak lensing mass measurements from th…

Taking the Universe's Temperature with Spectral Distortions of the Cosmic Microwave Background

J. Colin Hill, Nick Battaglia, Jens Chluba +3

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) energy spectrum is a near-perfect blackbody. The standard model of cosmology predicts small spectral distortions to this form, but no such dis…
