Recent observations using the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) have provided ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps with higher angular resolution than the Planck satellite. These have the potential to put interesting constraints on models resolving the ‘Hubble tension’. In this paper we fit two models of Early Dark Energy (EDE) (an increase in the expansion rate around matter/radiation equality) to the combination of ACT data with large-scale measurements of the CMB either from… Expand

An only early or only late time alteration to ΛCDM has been inadequate at resolving both the H0 and S8 tensions simultaneously; however, a combination of early and late time alterations to ΛCDM canExpand
