ACT (MBAC) Data Products - Chains Using ACT Lensing Likelihood and WMAP Data

Description

This tarball includes 6 chains run for the lcdm+curvature model, with results reported in Sherwin et al. 2011 (astro-ph/1105.0419), using WMAP 7-year data plus ACT lensing likelihood described in Das et al. 2011 (astro-ph/1103.2124).

The chains are formatted using the WMAP standard formatting. They can be analysed for example using the patch to the CosmoMC Getdist:

The sampled parameters, described in Sherwin et al. 2011, are baryon density (omegabh2), cold dark matter density (omegach2), dark energy fraction (omegal), spectral index (n002), optical depth (tau), amplitude at k=0.002/Mpc (a002), curvature (omegak), and SZ template amplitude (Asz).

Also included are a set of derived parameters: redshift to reionization (zrei), age of the universe (age), amplitude of matter fluctuations (sigma8), and time/redshift of recombination (trec, zrec).
