Description
With the 3rd generation camera on the South Pole Telescope, SPT-3G, over 10K square degrees of the southern sky has been surveyed in Stokes I/Q/U at frequencies of 90,150, and 220 GHz with noise levels in coadded intensity ranging from 2 to 9 $\mu$K-arcmin at roughly arcminute resolution. This provides insights over the full range in cosmic time, from the early universe to nearby objects. Measurements of the lensed primary CMB provide precise probes of cosmology, Sunyaev-Zeldovich effects probe reionization and galaxy clusters, dust emission marks locations of high-z galaxy candidates, variable active galactic nuclei are detected and monitored, and Galactic transients are discovered. I will discuss recent results from SPT-3G on these fronts and more.
