The 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 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.
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 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...
متن کاملLarge Angular Scale Polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation and the Feasibility of its Detection
In addition to its spectrum and temperature anisotropy, the 2.7 K Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is also expected to exhibit a low level of polarization. The spatial power spectrum of the polarization can provide details about the formation of structure in the universe as well as its ionization history. Here we calculate the magnitude of the CMB polarization in various cosmological scenarios...
