Title: Observing the oldest light in the Universe from the South Pole: Gravitational waves, Neutrinos and more!
Abstract:
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation is the oldest light we can see. Since it bears the imprint of the universe just after the Big Bang (at a mere 0.003% of the universe’s age today), observations of the CMB are a crucial tool in our quest to understand how the Universe began and what its future holds. The South Pole is one of the best sites on Earth for these observations, and is the home of the South Pole Telescope (as well as CMB-S4 in the future). In this talk, I will present the latest CMB power spectra measurements from the SPT-3G instrument on the South Pole Telescope, and the resulting constraints on cosmology.
