CMB Likelihood This is the software used by the ACT collaboration to compute the likelihood of cosmological models, using the small-scale CMB power spectrum from 500 < l <3500 measured by ACT, derived from the 3-year data (2008-2010 observations). More... 1 file, 5.4 MB TAR BALL
Multi-Frequency Likelihood This is the software used by the ACT collaboration to compute the multi-frequency likelihood of cosmological models, using the small-scale microwave power spectra measured by ACT from 500 < l < 10000 from the 3-year data (2008-2010 observations). More... 1 file, 76.9 MB TAR BALL
Lensing Likelihood A single tarball is supplied, containing the lensing likelihood and data for ACT. It is a simple chisq routine that takes in a theoretical deflection spectrum, and compares it to the ACT data file in the /data directory. More... 1 file, 107 KB TAR BALL
Total Spectra The ACT temperature power spectra are computed at 148 GHz and 218 GHz. Three spectra are given for each region (ACT-E and ACT-S), for 148x148, 148x218, and 218x218. The coadded spectra are also given. More... 9 files, <= 705 bytes each ASCII
CMB Spectra The ACT temperature power spectra are combined to estimated the CMB bandpowers, marginalized over foregrounds and SZ. Spectra are given for each region (ACT-E and ACT-S). More... 2 files, < 3 KB each ASCII

Likelihood Software This is the software used by the ACT collaboration to compute the likelihood of cosmological models, using the small-scale microwave power spectrum measured by ACT from the 2008 Southern sky survey. It is based on the WMAP likelihood software. More... 1 file, 4.6 MB TAR BALL
Chains These are MCMC chains run using the ACT likelihood software based on the small-scale microwave power spectrum measured from the 2008 Southern sky survey. More... 10 files, < 4.5 MB TAR BALL
Primordial Spectrum This is the software and chains used by the ACT collaboration in Hlozek et al 2011 [1105.4887]. It includes the modification to CAMB required to use a binned primordial power spectrum instead of a power law, and modifications to CosmoMC to sample these additional parameters. More... 2 files, < 336 KB TAR BALL
Beams The beam window functions for the ACT temperature power spectra are computed at 148 GHz and 218 GHz. They are obtained by transforming the beam profiles obtained from Saturn observations. More... 2 files, 451 kB each ASCII
Spectra The ACT temperature power spectra are computed at 148 GHz and 218 GHz. Three spectra are given, for 148x148, 148x218, and 218x218. More... 3 files, 4 kB each ASCII
Source Templates The angular power spectra shape due to clustered IR point sources as predicted by two different models (named Src-1, Src-2) are supplied for the 148 GHZ ACT frequency. More... 2 files, 221 kB each ASCII
SZ Templates The angular power spectra due to the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect as predicted by four different models (named TBO-1, TBO-2, Battaglia, Shaw) are supplied for the 148 GHZ ACT frequency. More... 6 files, < 557 kB each ASCII
