| Summary: | Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy encodes a lot of information about our Universe. In this paper we take the ground-based CMB observations (GCMB), including the South Pole Telescope (SPT), SPTpol and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope Polarimeter (ACTPol), as a new probe to the CMB anisotropy independent of two satellite observations, i.e. Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and Planck. The combination of current GCMB data is consistent with WMAP and Planck. In the spatially flat $Λ$CDM model, the Hubble constant is $H_0=69.72\pm 1.63$ km/s/Mpc at $68\%$ confidence level (CL). Combining with baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) and the Pantheon sample of Type Ia supernovae (SN), we find that $H_0=68.40\pm 0.58$ km/s/Mpc ($68\%$ CL) in the spatially flat $Λ$CDM cosmology which has a tension with local measurement given by Riess et al. in 2019 at $3.7σ$ level, and $Ω_k=-0.0013\pm 0.0039$ and $N_{\rm{eff}}=2.90\pm 0.41$ ($68\%$ CL) in the extended cosmological models. : 7 pages and 6 figures |
