The cosmic microwave background radiation.
Radio Astronomy has added greatly to our understanding of the structure and dynamics of the universe. The cosmic microwave background radiation, considered a relic of the explosion at the beginning of the universe some 18 billion years ago, is one of the most powerful aids in determining these features of the universe. This paper is about the discovery of the cosmic microwave background radiati...
متن کاملThe Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
These lectures will attempt to convey the excitement and promise in studies of the microwave radiation left over from the early universe. They are aimed at an audience of experimental high energy physicists. The first lecture will concentrate on how the radiation is characterized, how it and its anisotropies are generated, and the physics that it reveals. The second lecture will concentrate on ...
متن کاملThe Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
We summarize the theoretical and observational status of the study of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. Its thermodynamic spectrum is a robust prediction of the Hot Big Bang cosmology and has been confirmed observationally. There are now 76 observations of Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropy, which we present in a table with references. We discuss the theoretical origins of these an...
متن کاملPrimordial Nucleosynthesis, Cosmic Microwave Background and Neutrinos
In this contribution we report on a combined analysis of the dependence of CMBR anisotropies and BBN on the energy fractions ΩBh 2 and Ωνh 2 = NνΩ 0 νh 2 for massless neutrinos (Nν standing for the effective neutrino number and Ωνh 2 for the energy contribution of a single ν− ν specie). This is aimed to test the standard and degenerate BBN scenario, using the recent results of the BOOMERanG [1]...
متن کاملImprint of Reionization on the Cosmic Microwave Background Bispectrum
We study contributions to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) bispectrum from non-Gaussianity induced by secondary anisotropies during reionization. Large-scale structure in the reionized epoch both gravitational lenses CMB photons and produces Doppler shifts in their temperature from scattering off electrons in infall. The resulting correlation is potentially observable through the CMB bispe...
