The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: High-resolution component-separated maps across one-third of the sky

William R. Coulton, Mathew S. Madhavacheril, Adriaan J. Duivenvoorden +151

Observations of the millimeter sky contain valuable information on a number of signals, including the blackbody cosmic microwave background (CMB), Galactic emissions, and the Compt…

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Mitigating the impact of extragalactic foregrounds for the DR6 CMB lensing analysis

Niall MacCrann, Blake D. Sherwin, Frank J. Qu +47

We investigate the impact and mitigation of extragalactic foregrounds for the CMB lensing power spectrum analysis of Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) data release 6 (DR6) data. Tw…

Observations of compact sources in galaxy clusters using MUSTANG2

Simon R. Dicker, Elia S. Battistelli, Tanay Bhandarkar +26

Compact sources can cause scatter in the scaling relationships between the amplitude of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect (tSZE) in galaxy clusters and cluster mass. Estimates…

A high-resolution view of the filament of gas between Abell 399 and Abell 401 from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope and MUSTANG-2

Adam D. Hincks, Federico Radiconi, Charles Romero +43

We report a significant detection of the hot intergalactic medium in the filamentary bridge connecting the galaxy clusters Abell 399 and Abell 401. This result is enabled by a low-…

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Probing the Baryon Content of SDSS DR15 Galaxies with the Thermal and Kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effects

Eve M. Vavagiakis, Patricio A. Gallardo, Victoria Calafut +49

We present high signal-to-noise measurements (up to 12) of the average thermal Sunyaev Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect from optically selected galaxy groups and clusters and estimate th…

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Weighing distant clusters with the most ancient light

Mathew S. Madhavacheril, Cristóbal Sifón, Nicholas Battaglia +58

We use gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) to measure the mass of the most distant blindly-selected sample of galaxy clusters on which a lensing measurem…
