CMB lensing from Planck PR4 maps

Abstract

AbstractWe reconstruct the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) lensing potential on the latest Planck CMB PR4 (NPIPE) maps, which include slightly more data than the 2018 PR3 release, and implement quadratic estimators using more optimal filtering. We increase the reconstruction signal to noise by almost 20%, constraining the amplitude of the CMB-marginalized lensing power spectrum in units of thePlanck 2018 best-fit to 1.004 ± 0.024 (68% limits), which is the tightest constraint on the CMB lensing power spectrum to date. For a base ΛCDM cosmology we findσ8Ωm0.25= 0.599 ± 0.016 from CMB lensing alone in combination with weak priors and element abundance observations. Combination with baryon acoustic oscillation data gives tight 68% constraints on individual ΛCDM parametersσm= 0.814 ± 0.016,H0= 68.1+1.0-1.1 km s-1Mpc-1, Ωm= 0.313+0.014-0.016.Planck polarized maps alone now constrain the lensing power to 7%.
