What have we already learned from the CMB ?
نویسنده
چکیده
The COBE satellite, and the DMR experiment in particular, was extraordinarily successful. However, the DMR results were announced more than 6 years ago, during which time a great deal more has been learned about anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). We assess the current state of knowledge, and discuss where we might be going. The CMB experiments currently being designed and built, including long-duration balloons, interferometers, and two space missions, promise to address several fundamental cosmological issues. We present our evaluation of what we already know, what we are beginning to learn now, and what the future may bring. Subject headings: cosmic microwave background – cosmology: observations – cosmology: theory – large-scale structure

The COsmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite, and the Differential Microwave Radiometer (DMR) experiment in particular, was extraordinarily successful. However, the DMR results were announced about 7 years ago, during which time a great deal more has been learned about anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).

متن کاملPathophysiology of Ischemia/Reperfusion-induced Myocardial Injury: What We Have Learned From Preconditioning and Postconditioning?
Organ damage after reperfusion of previously viable ischemic tissues is defined as ischemia/reperfusion injury. The pathophysiology of ischemia/reperfusion injury involves cellular effect of ischemia, reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cascade. Protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury may be achieved by preconditioning or postconditioning. In this review, we discuss basic mechan...
متن کاملMaps of the Cosmos : The Cosmic Microwave Background
Since the IAU XXIV meeting in 2000, the CMB anisotropy has matured from being one of a number of cosmological probes to forming the bedrock foundation for what is now the standard model of cosmology. The large advances over the past three years have come from making better and better maps of the cosmos. We review the state of measurements of the anisotropy and outline some of what we have learn...

The purpose of this article is to give a brief account of what we hope to learn from the future CMB experiments, essentially from the point of view of primordial cosmology. After recalling what we have already learnt, the principles of parameter extraction from the data are summarized. The discussion is then devoted to the information we could gain about the early universe, in the framework of ...
متن کاملLecture notes on the physics of cosmic microwave background anisotropies
We review the theory of the temperature anisotropy and polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, and describe what we have learned from current CMB observations. In particular, we discuss how the CMB is being used to provide precise measurements of the composition and geometry of the observable universe, and to constrain the physics of the early universe. We also briefly ...
