We present a new measurement of the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect using data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). Using 600 square degrees of overlapping sky area, we evaluate the mean pairwise baryon momentum associated with the positions of 50,000 bright galaxies in the BOSS DR11 Large Scale Structure catalog. A non-zero signal arises from the large-scale motions of halos containing the sample galaxies. The data fits an analytical signal model well, with the optical depth to microwave photon scattering as a free parameter determining the overall signal amplitude. We estimate the covariance matrix of the mean pairwise momentum as a function of galaxy separation, using microwave sky simulations, jackknife evaluation, and bootstrap estimates. The most conservative simulation-based errors give signal-to-noise estimates between 3.6 and 4.1 for varying galaxy luminosity cuts. We discuss how the other error determinations can lead to higher signal-to-noise values, and consider the impact of several possible systematic errors. Estimates of the optical depth from the average thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich signal at the sample galaxy positions are broadly consistent with those obtained from the mean pairwise momentum signal.

Shear-kSZ: A New Estimator for the Matter-Electron Power Spectrum from kSZ Tomography and Weak Lensing
Shear–kSZ correlates kSZ, tomographic line-of-sight velocity, and lensing convergence to measure P_me(k) and thereby the baryonic matter-power suppression S(k) at high forecast significance.

Interpreting the stacked kinetic SZ effect I: velocity reconstruction and non-linear velocity effects
Non-linear velocity terms cancel in real-space linear reconstruction, but redshift-space distortions reintroduce a 10–20% small-scale suppression of the stacked kSZ signal.

Mapping the gas density with the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich and patchy screening effects: a self-consistent comparison
A 7.2-sigma kSZ detection and a 4.1-sigma patchy screening signal around DESI LRGs, with the screening signal attributed mostly to CMB lensing, leaving a 95% upper limit tau < 2.5e-4 for the gas optical depth.

Towards a multi-tracer neutrino mass measurement with line-intensity mapping
AtLAST [CII] line-intensity mapping, combined with CMB-S4 and DESI BAO forecasts, could reach sigma(sum m_nu) ~ 18 meV, and ~11.5 meV with a 21-cm tau prior.

Constraints on local primordial non-Gaussianity with 3d Velocity Reconstruction from the Kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect
The first 3D kSZ velocity reconstruction yields a 7.2-sigma galaxy-velocity cross-correlation and a constraint fNL = -90 +210 -350, still consistent with zero.
