CMB Lensing Reconstruction Using Two Years of Temperature Data from the SPT-3G Summer Survey

Kavli Affiliate: Bradford Benson
| Summary:
We present the first reconstruction of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing potential from the SPT-3G Summer survey using two years of temperature data. The Summer survey has a total area of approximately 2640 deg$^2$, split into three fields covering 1210, 570, and 860 deg$^2$, respectively. A joint analysis of the three Summer fields yields a lensing amplitude of $A^rm comb = 1.015 pm 0.053$ relative to a fiducial Planck 2018 $Λ$CDM cosmology for the multipole range $50 < L < 2000$. These early results from the SPT-3G Summer survey highlight the potential for increasing the signal-to-noise ratio when combining the Summer fields with the SPT-3G Main and Wide fields for a total SPT-3G survey area of $sim$ 10,000 deg$^2$.
