A Measurement of the Medium-Scale Anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
Observations from the first flight of the Medium Scale Anisotropy Measurement (MSAM) are analyzed to place limits on Gaussian fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). This instrument chops a 30 beam in a 3 position pattern with a throw of ±40; the resulting data is analyzed in statistically independent single and double difference datasets. We observe in four spectral c...
متن کاملGaussianity of Degree-Scale Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy Observations
We present results from a first test of the Gaussianity of degree-scale cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy. We investigate Gaussianity of the CMB anisotropy by studying the topology of CMB anisotropy maps from the QMAP and Saskatoon experiments. We also study the QMASK map, a combination map of the QMAP and Saskatoon data. We measure the genus from noise-suppressed Wienerfiltered maps...
متن کاملAnisotropy Measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) is one of only a few physically observable remnants of the early Universe. Studies of the spectrum, polarization and spatial distribution of the CMB can potentially lead to a detailed understanding of the processes that took place in the early Universe. Many of the outstanding cosmological questions regarding the age, contents, future, and large scale dynam...
متن کاملMSAM1-94: Repeated Measurement of Medium-Scale Anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
The second flight of the Medium Scale Anisotropy Measurement (MSAM194) observed the same field as the first flight (MSAM1-92) to confirm our earlier measurement of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) anisotropy. This instrument chops a 30 beam in a 3 position pattern with a throw of ±40′, and simultaneously measures single and double differenced sky signals. We observe in four spectral...
متن کاملThe 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...
