The Effect of CIB Lensing on CMB Lensing

The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is the oldest light we can observe. CMB observations have told us a lot about the universe, from the conditions in the early universe to how the universe will expand in the future. As CMB propagates towards us, its path is altered by the gravity of everything in between the CMB and us by a phenomenon called gravitational lensing. By investigating this lensing, we can learn about the matter between us and the CMB. As CMB observations are becoming more accurate, it is becoming increasingly important to accurately model the lensing. CIB or Cosmic Infrared Background is one factor that affects CMB lensing, and it is also lensed. TO BE CONT’D
