The Cmb Anisotropy Dependence on Cosmological Parameters
نویسنده
چکیده
I review the general aspects of cosmological parameter estimation from observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies in the framework of inflationary adiabatic models. The most recent CMB datasets are starting to give good constraints on the relevant parameters of inflationary adiabatic models. They point toward a model consistent with the basic predictions of inflation: a nearly flat universe, with a nearly scale invariant spectrum of primordial fluctuation.

A Two-fluid Approximation for Calculating the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies
We present a simple, yet accurate approximation for calculating the cosmic microwave background anisotropy power spectrum in adiabatic models. It consists of solving for the evolution of a two-fluid model until the epoch of recombination and then integrating over the sources to obtain the CMB anisotropy power spectrum. The approximation is useful both for a physical understanding of CMB anisotr...

This paper covers several techniques of intercomparison of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy experiments and models of structure formation. It presents the constraints on several cosmological parameters using current CMB observations.
متن کاملLecture XXXI: The classical tests and density parameters
In this section, we will consider the evolution of the matter content of the Universe, and consider the classical tests of cosmology. That is, we will examine the methods of establishing cosmic distances and times, and their dependence on the cosmological parameters. We won’t cover the issue of cosmological perturbations and the tests based on them (e.g. CMB anisotropies, large scale structure)...

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.

The lecture is devoted to the comparison of a few models of cosmic recombination kinetics with recent CMB anisotropy data and to corresponding predictions for the upcoming Planck mission. The influence of additional sources of ionized photons at the epoch of hydrogen recombination may restrict our possibility to estimate the density of baryonic fraction of matter when using Planck data. This ne...
