Event Information:

Observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) are foundational for the standard model of cosmology. Improved measurements of the CMB temperature anisotropy and polarization will further inform us about the history of the universe and its contents. The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) is mapping close to half the sky with arcminute resolution in multiple microwave bands. I will describe the recent cosmological results from ACT including the CMB angular power spectra and cosmological parameters.
