November, 2012: 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 improved cosmological constraints from the SPT-SZ cluster survey (preprint here); a new catalog of 224 SZ-selected cluster candidates from the first 720 square-degrees of the survey (preprint here); the first measurement of galaxy bias from the gravitational lensing of the CMB (preprint here); the first CMB-based constraint on the evolution of the ionized fraction during the epoch of reionization (preprint here); the most-significant detection of non-Gaussianity induced from the gravitational lensing of the CMB (preprint here); and the most precise measurement of the CMB damping tail and improved constraints on models of Inflation (preprint here).
