Sudeep Das - Princeton University Why interesting? Some basics Why curved sky? Simulation Future directions The three R’s of the CMB A source at a well known Redshift. For lensing of the CMB the source redshift is accurately known. One of the main uncertainties in conventional weak lensing studies is the lack of accuracy in source redshifts.

Sudeep Das - Princeton University Why interesting? Some basics Why curved sky? Simulation Future directions The three R’s of the CMB A source which is most Remote. CMB can act as a source for lensing by high redshift objects. Lensing of the CMB by quasars and sub-mm galaxies have the potential of telling us about the less understood halo properties of these objects.

Sudeep Das - Princeton University Why interesting? Some basics Why curved sky? Simulation Future directions The three R’s of the CMB A source which is Random. The hot and cold patches of the CMB are featureless. They have no intrinsic shape. In conventional weak lensing with galaxies, their intrinsic ellipticity is a source of systematic noise. Intrinsic galaxy ellipticities can also be correlated. February 22, 2019 Sudeep Das - Princeton University

Sudeep Das - Princeton University Why interesting? Some basics Why curved sky? Simulation Future directions Utility Most of the forthcoming surveys will concentrate on the cross- correlation between gravitational lensing of the CMB and tracers of large scale. The current method provides a natural way to simulate such studies. The halos can be saved and populated with tracers (LRGs, SZ clusters etc.) Optical lensing (galaxy shear) studies can be simulated with the same LSS and cross correlated with the lensed CMB.

Sudeep Das - Princeton University Why interesting? Some basics Why curved sky? Simulation Future directions The Atacama Cosmology Telescope. Achieved first light on June 8, 2007 pointing at Jupiter. ACT will be looking at the SDSS stripe 82 where we have LRG data. Stripe 82; 300 sq degees. Z<0.6 LRGs photometric down to L*. 1. This map was the simplest possible combination of 71 detectors. Maps were made with each detector alone (not shown) and then rescaled so the Jupiter peak on all maps was of unit amplitude. No other calibration info of any kind was used (e.g., IV curves). The rescaled maps were then averaged (with weighting appropriate to their noise).2. The averaged map was then smoothed by 1 map pixel (0.4 arcminutes).3. The pointing model was derived from these same observations and is far from complete. Any error in the model tends to make us stack the separate detectors incorrectly, smearing out the point source.4. Jupiter was 46 arcseconds in diameter this week. The beamwidth is estimated to be 100 arcseconds FWHM. Jupiter is more or less in the unresolved point source regime. February 22, 2019 Sudeep Das - Princeton University
