This figure illustrates the agreement between parameter values derived from the SPT and WMAP 7 bandpowers. For each ΛCDM parameter, we plot the fractional change in the parameter, defined by (α _SPT/α _WMAP7 − 1), and the error bar for this quantity. Following S13, the amplitude of scalar perturbations, , is evaluated at k = 0.05 Mpc ⁻¹. The optical depth to reionization is not plotted, as a WMAP 7-based prior is used in the fits to the SPT bandpowers. The most significant shift is to the sound horizon scale which increases by 1.5σ.
