Cosmological-parameter determination with microwave background maps.
The angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background ~CMB! contains information on virtually all cosmological parameters of interest, including the geometry of the Universe (V), the baryon density, the Hubble constant (h), the cosmological constant (L), the number of light neutrinos, the ionization history, and the amplitudes and spectral indices of the primordial scalar and tensor per...
متن کاملCosmological-parameter Determination with Cosmic Microwave Background Temperature Anisotropies and Polarization
Forthcoming cosmic microwave background experiments (CMB) will provide precise new tests of structure-formation theories. The geometry of the Universe may be determined robustly, and the classical cosmological parameters, such as the cosmological constant, baryon density, and Hubble constant, may be determined as well. In addition, the “inflationary observables,” which parameterize the shapes a...
متن کاملEfficient Cosmological Parameter Estimation from Microwave Background Anisotropies
We revisit the issue of cosmological parameter estimation in light of current and upcoming highprecision measurements of the cosmic microwave background power spectrum. Physical quantities which determine the power spectrum are reviewed, and their connection to familiar cosmological parameters is explicated. We present a set of physical parameters, analytic functions of the usual cosmological p...
متن کاملTHE COSMIC MICROWAVE BACKGROUND : PRESENT STATUS AND COSMOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES Cosmological Parameter Estimation : Method
CMB anisotropy data could put powerful constraints on theories of the evolution of our Universe. Using the observations of the large number of CMB experiments, many studies have put constraints on cosmological parameters assuming different frameworks. Assuming for example inflationary paradigm, one can compute the confidence intervals on the different components of the energy densities, or the ...
متن کاملMicrowave Background Constraints on Cosmological Parameters
We use a high-accuracy computational code to investigate the precision with which cosmological parameters could be reconstructed by future cosmic microwave background experiments. We focus on the two planned satellite missions: MAP and Planck. We identify several parameter combinations that could be determined with a few percent accuracy with the two missions, as well as some degeneracies among...
