Modelling of the weak lensing of the CMB will be crucial to obtain correct cosmological parameter constraints from forthcoming precision CMB anisotropy observations. The lensing affects the power spectrum as well as inducing non-Gaussianities. We discuss the simulation of full sky CMB maps in the weak lensing approximation and describe a fast numerical code. The series expansion in the deflection angle cannot be used to simulate accurate CMB maps, so a pixel remapping must be used. For parameter estimation accounting for the change in the power spectrum but assuming Gaussianity is sufficient to obtain accurate results up to Planck sensitivity using current tools. A fuller analysis may be required to obtain accurate error estimates and for more sensitive observations. We demonstrate a simple full sky simulation and subsequent parameter estimation at Planck-like sensitivity. The lensed CMB simulation and parameter estimation codes are publicly available.

  1. The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: A Measurement of the DR6 CMB Lensing Power Spectrum and its Implications for Structure Growth

    astro-ph.CO 2023-04 accept novelty 6.0

    ACT DR6 yields a 2.3% precise CMB lensing power spectrum with A_lens = 1.013 ± 0.023 relative to Planck 2018 Lambda CDM, giving S8 = 0.818 ± 0.022 and no evidence for suppressed structure growth.

  2. CMB Lensing Reconstruction Using Two Years of Temperature Data from the SPT-3G Summer Survey

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    First CMB lensing reconstruction from two years of SPT-3G Summer temperature data yields A_comb = 1.015 ± 0.053 over 50 < L < 2000, consistent with Planck 2018 ΛCDM.
