Cluster Cosmology Constraints from the 2500 deg SPT-SZ Survey: Inclusion of Weak Gravitational Lensing Data from Magellan and the Hubble Space Telescope

S. Bocquet, J. P. Dietrich, T. Schrabback +77

We derive cosmological constraints using a galaxy cluster sample selected from the 2500~deg SPT-SZ survey. The sample spans the redshift range and contains 343 c…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Cross-correlation between DES Y1 galaxy weak lensing and SPT+Planck CMB weak lensing

Y. Omori, E. Baxter, C. Chang +137

We cross-correlate galaxy weak lensing measurements from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) year-one (Y1) data with a cosmic microwave background (CMB) weak lensing map derived from Sout…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: tomographic cross-correlations between DES galaxies and CMB lensing from SPT+Planck

Y. Omori, T. Giannantonio, A. Porredon +137

We measure the cross-correlation between redMaGiC galaxies selected from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year-1 data and gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB)…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Joint Analysis of Galaxy Clustering, Galaxy Lensing, and CMB Lensing Two-point Functions

T. M. C. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla, A. Alarcon +164

We perform a joint analysis of the auto and cross-correlations between three cosmic fields: the galaxy density field, the galaxy weak lensing shear field, and the cosmic microwave…

Mass Calibration of Optically Selected DES clusters using a Measurement of CMB-Cluster Lensing with SPTpol Data

S. Raghunathan, S. Patil, E. Baxter +129

We use cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps from the 500 deg SPTpol survey to measure the stacked lensing convergence of galaxy clusters from the Dark Energy Su…

Cosmological lensing ratios with DES Y1, SPT and Planck

J. Prat, E. J. Baxter, T. Shin +131

Correlations between tracers of the matter density field and gravitational lensing are sensitive to the evolution of the matter power spectrum and the expansion rate across cosmic…

Characterization and performance of the second-year SPT-3G focal plane

D. Dutcher, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed +68

The third-generation instrument for the 10-meter South Pole Telescope, SPT-3G, was first installed in January 2017. In addition to completely new cryostats, secondary telescope opt…

The Simons Observatory: Science goals and forecasts

The Simons Observatory Collaboration, Peter Ade, James Aguirre +247

The Simons Observatory (SO) is a new cosmic microwave background experiment being built on Cerro Toco in Chile, due to begin observations in the early 2020s. We describe the scient…

Maps of the Southern Millimeter-wave Sky from Combined 2500 deg SPT-SZ and Planck Temperature Data

R. Chown, Y. Omori, K. Aylor +43

We present three maps of the millimeter-wave sky created by combining data from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) and the Planck satellite. We use data from the SPT-SZ survey, a surve…
