Scientific paper

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) is a six-meter microwave telescope for measuring arc minute scale anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Sited at 5200 m in the Andes of northern Chile, ACT has completed approximately six months of observations at 145 GHz, 215 GHz, and 280 GHz. This paper provides an overview of these observations, the ACT mapping pipeline, and the progress made toward understanding the primordial CMB, the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect from galaxy clusters, and source populations from ACT maps.
