Feburary, 2011: Recent results from the South Pole Telescope.

In the past 12 months, the South Pole Telescope team has reported a number of breakthrough scientific results, including the first cosmological constraints from a sample of SZ-discovered galaxy clusters (preprint here); the most precise measurement of the secondary anisotropy power spectrum of the CMB (preprint here); a sample of the most massive galaxy clusters in the full 2500-square-degree SPT-SZ survey region (preprint here); and the discovery and cosmological implications of the most massive known cluster at z > 1 (preprint here).
