SPTpol Results from the First 100 Square Degree Survey

ORAL

Abstract

SPTpol is a polarization-sensitive camera designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) deployed on the 10 meter South Pole Telescope (SPT) in January 2012. I will present our recent results from the 100 square degree survey (the first year of data) focusing on the recently published high signal-to-noise measurement of the E-mode and temperature-E-mode correlation CMB power spectra. Additionally I will show B-mode power spectra, measurements of the gravitational lensing potential, and briefly report on the status of SPTpol results from the full 500 square degree survey.
