초록/해제  
요약Remarkable theoretical and experimental progress has been made within the field of cosmology since the development of General Relativity just over 100 years ago. Measurements of the expanding Universe, the Cosmic Microwave Background, and large-scale structure have led to a concordant theoretical model, Lambda-Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM). However, fundamental questions about ΛCDM remain, notably the dominance of dark energy and dark matter in the Universe today.This thesis focuses on measurements of the CMB made by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) as part of its last data release, DR6. Two principal measurements made with DR6 CMB maps are the CMB primary and lensing power spectra. A central aspect of those analyses is understanding the map noise properties, and efficiently and accurately modeling them. We present a rigorous noise modeling framework that can reproduce the nontrivial noise properties induced by the atmosphere and telescope scan strategy. This framework served as the basis for the primary and lensing power spectra covariance matrices.We then focus on the primary power spectrum covariance matrix. We distinguish between the full forward model of the DR6 data, and the simplifications required to construct an approximate, analytic covariance matrix. We find the covariance matrix prescription used in past ACT analyses can be generalized to account for the inhomogeneous noise distribution in the maps, yielding a new prescription similar to that of Planck. We show that our new prescription significantly outperforms the previous one used in ACT, and we develop a new method of using simulations to correct both the new and previous analytic covariance matrices, achieving percent-level accuracy in either case.We conclude by deriving additional contributions to the DR6 power spectrum covariance beyond cosmic variance and noise, including systematics and non-Gaussian foregrounds, paying particular attention to the assumptions necessary to construct these contributions. We present a related development of a new method to parametrically measure residual systematics between subsets of the ACT DR6 data, which helped define the range of angular scales included in the public DR6 power spectra. Finally, we highlight DR6 cosmological results, which tighten constraints on many proposed extensions to ΛCDM.
