First Constraints on the Epoch of Reionization Using the non-Gaussianity of the Kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect from the South Pole Telescope and {\it Herschel}-SPIRE Observations

We report results from an analysis aimed at detecting the trispectrum of the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel{'}dovich (kSZ) effect by combining data from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) and {\it Herschel}-SPIRE experiments over a 100 ${\rm deg}^{2}$ field. The SPT observations combine data from the previous and current surveys, namely SPTpol and …
