We report the first detection of the gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background through a measurement of the four-point correlation function in the temperature maps made by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. We verify our detection by calculating the levels of potential contaminants and performing a number of null tests. The resulting convergence power spectrum at 2-degree angular scales measures the amplitude of matter density fluctuations on comoving length scales of around 100 Mpc at redshifts around 0.5 to 3. The measured amplitude of the signal agrees with Lambda Cold Dark Matter cosmology predictions. Since the amplitude of the convergence power spectrum scales as the square of the amplitude of the density fluctuations, the 4-sigma detection of the lensing signal measures the amplitude of density fluctuations to 12%.

Detection of the pairwise kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect with BOSS DR11 and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope
我们提出了一个新的测量的运动学Sunyaev-Zeldovich效应使用的数据从阿塔卡玛宇宙望远镜(ACT)和重子振荡光谱巡天(BOSS)。使用600平方度的重叠天空区域,我们评估了与BOSS DR 11大尺度结构目录中50,000个明亮星系的位置相关的平均成对重子动量。一个非零信号来自包含样本星系的晕的大尺度运动。数据拟合的分析信号模型以及,与微波光子散射的光学深度作为一个自由参数确定的整体信号幅度。我们估计的协方差矩阵的平均成对动量作为星系分离的函数,使用微波天空模拟,折刀评估,和自助估计。最保守的基于模拟的误差给出了不同星系光度削减的信噪比估计在3.6和4.1之间。我们讨论了如何其他错误的决定,可以导致更高的信噪比值,并考虑几种可能的系统误差的影响。从样本星系位置的平均热Sunyaev-Zeldovich信号的光学深度的估计与从平均成对动量信号获得的光学深度的估计大致一致。
