Limits on Anisotropy and Inhomogeneity from the Cosmic Background Radiation
We consider directly the equations by which matter imposes anisotropies on freely propagating background radiation, leading to a new way of using anisotropy measurements to limit the deviations of the Universe from a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) geometry. This approach is complementary to the usual Sachs-Wolfe approach: the limits obtained are not as detailed, but they are more model-indepe...

متن کاملCosmic Background Radiation Temperature Anisotropy : Position of First Doppler Peak
The purpose of the Cosmic Background Radiation (CBR) experiments is to measure the temperature anisotropy via the autocorrelation function. The partial wave l1 corresponding to the first Doppler peak caused by baryonphoton oscillations at the surface of last scattering depends on the present density Ω0 and the cosmological constant contribution ΩΛ. We discuss this dependence on the basis of per...
متن کاملNew Limits on the Polarized Anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background at Subdegree Angular Scales
We update the limit from the 90 GHz Princeton IQU Experiment ground-based polarimeter on the magnitude of any polarized anisotropy of the cosmic microwave radiation. With a second year of data, we have now limited both Q and U on a ring of 1 radius. The window functions are broad: for E-mode polarization, the effective l is . We find that the E-mode signal can be no greater than 8.4 mK (95% CL)...
متن کامل1 20. Cosmic background radiation 20. COSMIC BACKGROUND RADIATION
The observed cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation provides strong evidence for the hot big bang. The success of pri-mordial nucleosynthesis calculations (see Sec. 16, " Big-bang nucle-osynthesis ") requires a cosmic background radiation (CBR) characterized by a temperature kT ∼ 1 MeV at a redshift of z ≃ 10 9. In their pioneering work, Gamow, Alpher, and Herman [1] realized this and pred...
