2 Cosmological Parameters from CMB measurements with the CBI
نویسنده
چکیده
We derive cosmological parameters from the CBI measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) angular power spectrum. Our results provide an independent confirmation of the standard Ωtot = 1 ΛCDM model within the adiabatic, inflationary paradigm. Above ℓ = 2000 the observations show evidence of power in excess of that expected in the standard models. We use hydrodynamical simulations to show how Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect (SZE) may account for the excess power for models with fluctuation amplitude σ8 ∼ 1 which is in the high end of the range allowed by the primary CMB observations.

Cosmological Parameters from Cosmic Background Imager Observations and Comparisons with Boomerang, Dasi, and Maxima
We report on the cosmological parameters derived from observations with the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI), covering 40 square degrees and the multipole range 300 . l . 3500. The angular scales probed by the CBI correspond to structures which cover the mass range from 10M⊙ to 10 M⊙, and the observations reveal, for the first time, the seeds that gave rise to clusters of galaxies. These unique, ...
متن کاملEstimates of Cosmological Parameters Using the Cmb Angular Power Spectrum of Acbar
We report an investigation of cosmological parameters based on the measurements of anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) made by Acbar. We use the Acbar data in concert with other recent CMB measurements to derive Bayesian estimates of parameters in inflation-motivated adiabatic cold dark matter models. We apply a series of additional cosmological constraints on the shap...
متن کاملThe Sunyaev-zeldovich Effect in Cmb-calibrated Theories Applied to the Cosmic
We discuss the nature of the possible high-l excess in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy power spectrum observed by the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI). We probe the angular structure of the excess in the CBI deep fields and investigate whether it could be due to the scattering of CMB photons by hot electrons within clusters, the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect. We estimate the dens...
متن کاملInvestigating the Early Universe with the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy
Several experiments (including BOOMERanG, MAXIMA, DASI, VSA, CBI) have recently detected very low contrast structures in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the otherwise isotropic radiation coming from the early Universe. These structures have a contrast of the order of 25 ppm and a dominant angular size of one degree. In the current cosmological model, these structures result from acoustic...

The last years have been an exciting period for the field of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) research. With recent CMB balloon-borne and ground-based experiments we are entering a new era of ’precision’ cosmology that enables us to use the CMB anisotropy measurements to constrain the cosmological parameters and test new theoretical scenarios.
