Marginalized one-dimensional posteriors for θ _d/θ _s (left) and N _eff (right) from various combinations of data sets. The constraint on N _eff in the ΛCDM+ N _eff model for different combinations of data sets can be interpreted from the corresponding θ _d/θ _s posterior. The shift in θ _d/θ _s between broad WMAP 7 (dot-dashed blue curve) and SPT (dashed blue curve) implies a preference for lower N _eff with SPT than WMAP 7. The N _eff posterior of SPT+ WMAP 7 is shown by the solid black curve. The tighter constraints on N _eff can be obtained by adding BAO and H ₀ (black dotted curve) and combining CMB, BAO, H ₀ and SPT SZ-selected clusters (solid orange curve).
