Abstract

We measure the cross-correlation between redMaGiC galaxies selected from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) year 1 data and gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) reconstructed from South Pole Telescope (SPT) and Planck data over 1289     deg 2 . When combining measurements across multiple galaxy redshift bins spanning the redshift range of 0.15 < z < 0.90 , we reject the hypothesis of no correlation at 19.9 σ significance. When removing small-scale data points where thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich signal and nonlinear galaxy bias could potentially bias our results, the detection significance is reduced to 9.9 σ . We perform a joint analysis of galaxy-CMB lensing cross-correlations and galaxy clustering to constrain cosmology, finding Ω m = 0.27 6 + 0.029 − 0.030 and S 8 = σ 8 √ Ω m / 0.3 = 0.80 0 + 0.090 − 0.094 . We also perform two alternate analyses aimed at constraining only the growth rate of cosmic structure as a function of redshift, finding consistency with predictions from the concordance Λ CDM model. The measurements presented here are part of a joint cosmological analysis that combines galaxy clustering, galaxy lensing and CMB lensing using data from DES, SPT and Planck.
