abstract
The cosmic velocity field is an unbiased probe of the total matter distribution but is challenging to measure directly at intermediate and high redshifts. The large-scale velocity field imprints a signal in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) through the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ) effect. We perform the first 3d reconstruction of the large-scale velocity field from the kSZ effect by applying a quadratic estimator to CMB temperature maps and the 3d positions of galaxies. We do so by combining CMB data from the fifth data release of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (in combination with Planck) and a spectroscopic galaxy sample from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We then measure the galaxy-velocity cross-power spectrum and detect the presence of the kSZ signal at a signal-to-noise ratio of 7.2$\sigma$. Using this galaxy-velocity cross-correlation alone, we constrain the amplitude of local primordial non-Gaussianity finding $f_{\rm NL}=-90^{+210}_{-350}$. This pathfinder measurement sets the stage for joint galaxy-CMB kSZ constraints to significantly enhance the $f_{\rm NL}$ information obtained from galaxy surveys through sample variance cancellation.

First full-shape joint analysis of the two- and three-point correlation functions on real data: $\Lambda$CDM cosmological constraints from BOSS DR12
First joint 2PCF+3PCF full-shape analysis on BOSS DR12 real data improves σ(h) by ~29%, σ(ω_cdm) by ~10%, and σ(A_s) by ~24% over 2PCF alone via extra BAO information in 3PCF triangles.

Shear-kSZ: A New Estimator for the Matter-Electron Power Spectrum from kSZ Tomography and Weak Lensing
Shear–kSZ correlates kSZ, tomographic line-of-sight velocity, and lensing convergence to measure P_me(k) and thereby the baryonic matter-power suppression S(k) at high forecast significance.

Optimal and exact wide-angle power spectrum estimation
For finite-rank signals the optimal wide-angle estimator is the two-ℓ Yamamoto form, whose exact window is a finite FFT-computable sum that improves ultra-large-scale SNR by O(1).

Measurement of the galaxy-velocity power spectrum of DESI tracers with the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect using DESI DR2 and ACT DR6
DESI DR2 and ACT DR6 data yield 17σ LRG-velocity, 8.3σ ELG-velocity, and 6.8σ QSO-velocity detections plus a 3.1σ velocity-velocity signal, producing f_NL^loc = 15.9_{-34.4}^{+34.6} from the velocity field.
