0 The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

Eric Gawiser, Joseph Silk

Open publisher page 56 citations

Abstract

We summarize the theoretical and observational status of the study of theCosmic Microwave Background radiation. Its thermodynamic spectrum is a robustprediction of the Hot Big Bang cosmology and has been confirmedobservationally. There are now 76 observations of Cosmic Microwave Backgroundanisotropy, which we present in a table with references. We discuss thetheoretical origins of these anisotropies and explain the standard jargonassociated with their observation.
