Evidence of Lensing of the Cosmic Microwave Background by Dark Matter Halos

Evidence of Lensing of the Cosmic Microwave Background by Dark Matter Halos

We present evidence of the gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background by 10(13) solar mass dark matter halos. Lensing convergence maps from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope Polarimeter (ACTPol) are stacked at the positions of around 12 000 optically selected CMASS galaxies from the SDSS-III/BOSS survey. The mean lensing signal …
