Atacama Cosmology Telescope

Microwave-sky simulations of the ACT strip are available here

Microwave-sky simulations of the EQUATOR strip are available here

A detailed description of the simulations is available here


Basic description:

Microwave-sky maps are for a full 360 degrees in right ascension. 
The ACT strip is centered at dec=-55 degrees and spans 4 degrees in declination. 
The Equator strip is centered at dec=-5 degrees and also spans 4 degrees in declination.
Halo catalogs are for 90 degrees in right ascension only.
The maps are in units of Jansky/steradian.

The maps are labeled as follows, where *= 145, 215, or 280 to represent the
frequency in units of GHz at which the maps are made.  Note the maps are not
integrated over a frequency bandwidth.
