Constraints on Cosmological Parameters from the Angular Power Spectrum of a Combined 2500 deg^2 SPT-SZ and Planck Gravitational Lensing Map
We report constraints on cosmological parameters from the angular power spectrum of a cosmic microwave background (CMB) gravitational lensing potential map created using temperature data from 2500 deg2 of South Pole Telescope (SPT) data supplemented with data from Planck in the same sky region, with...

We report constraints on cosmological parameters from the angular power spectrum of a cosmic microwave background (CMB) gravitational lensing potential map created using temperature data from 2500 deg2 of South Pole Telescope (SPT) data supplemented with data from Planck in the same sky region, with the statistical power in the combined map primarily from the SPT data. We fit the lensing power spectrum to a model including cold dark matter and a cosmological constant (ΛCDM), and to models with single-parameter extensions to ΛCDM. We find constraints that are comparable to and consistent with those found using the full-sky Planck CMB lensing data, e.g., σ_8 Ω^(0.25)_m = 0.598 ± 0.024 from the lensing data alone with weak priors placed on other parameters. Combining with primary CMB data, we explore single-parameter extensions to ΛCDM. We find Ω_k = -0.012^(+0.021)_(-0.023) or M_ν < 0.70 eV at 95% confidence, in good agreement with results including the lensing potential as measured by Planck.
