Characterising the epoch of reionisation using the cross-correlation of the kSZ effect and CMB lensing
Niall MacCrann, Christopher Cain, Aleksandra Kusiak +5
We investigate the cross-correlation of the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) effect with lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) as a probe of the epoch of reionisation.…
Measuring Cosmic Neutrino Masses Independently of Dark Energy
Frank J. Qu, Fei Ge, Hanyue Wang +4
Neutrino oscillations establish that neutrinos are massive, providing the only laboratory detection of physics beyond the Standard Model. Direct kinematic experiments bound the ele…
Constraints on Cosmic Strings from the Curl-Mode CMB Lensing Power Spectrum measured by ACT DR6
A. I. Lonappan, K. Ramesh, T. Namikawa +2
A network of cosmic strings is one of the few well-motivated cosmological sources of vector and tensor metric perturbations on the largest observable scales. Such perturbations imp…
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…
Precision Kinematic Sunyaev--Zel'dovich Measurements Across Halo Mass and Redshift with DESI DR2 and ACT DR6: Part II. Bright Galaxy Survey and Emission-Line Galaxies
B. Hadzhiyska, S. Ferraro, F. J. Qu +50
We present the first high-significance spectroscopic stacked kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) measurements of circumgalactic gas profiles for both Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS) and Em…
Precision Kinematic Sunyaev--Zel'dovich Measurements Across Halo Mass and Redshift with DESI DR2 and ACT DR6: Part I. Luminous Red Galaxies
F. J. Qu, B. Ried Guachalla, E. Schaan +51
We present the most precise measurements of the kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect around luminous red galaxies to date, detecting the signal at significance in both ha…
