Description

Detecting point sources in cosmic microwave background maps is essential for characterizing extragalactic populations and addressing foreground contamination. We present the largest catalog of extragalactic sources from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, spanning 2008-2022 at 95, 150, and 220 GHz. Using improved source detection and classification methods, we distinguish between Active Galactic Nuclei and Dusty Star-Forming Galaxies, substantially increasing the number of detected sources and refining millimeter-wave source counts. Our catalog is a key resource for ALMA and other follow-up studies, offering new insights into galaxy evolution and extragalactic millimeter-wave emission.
