Physics of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation provides a remarkable window onto the early universe, revealing its composition and structure. In these lectures we review and discuss the physics underlying the main features of the CMB.

Primordial helium and the cosmic background radiation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2010
The products of primordial nucleosynthesis, along with the cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons, are relics from the early evolution of the Universe whose observations probe the standard model of cosmology and provide windows on new physics beyond ...

Cosmic Background Radiation and “ether-drift” experiments [PDF]

open access: yesEPL (Europhysics Letters), 2016
“Ether-drift” experiments have played a crucial role for the origin of relativity. Though, a recent re-analysis shows that those original measurements where light was still propagating in gaseous systems, differently from the modern experiments in vacuum

Conformal Invariance and Cosmic Background Radiation [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 1996
The spectrum and statistics of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) are investigated under the hypothesis that scale invariance of the primordial density fluctuations should be promoted to full conformal invariance.

Impact of the cosmic background radiation on the initial mass function of metal-poor stars [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022
We study star cluster formation at low metallicities of Z/Z⊙ = 10−4–10−1 using three-dimensional hydrodynamics simulations. Particular emphasis is put on how the stellar mass distribution is affected by the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB ...

Kolmogorov Complexity, Cosmic Background Radiation and Irreversibility [PDF]

open access: yesThe Physics of Communication, 2003
We discuss the algorithmic information approach to the analysis of the observational data on the Universe. Kolmogorov complexity is proposed as a descriptor of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation maps.

Polarization of the cosmic background radiation [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1981
The technique and results of a measurement of the linear polarization of the cosmic background radiation at a wavelength of 9 mm are discussed. Data taken between 1978 May and 1980 February from both the Northern Hemisphere (Berkeley latitude 38 deg N) and the Southern Hemisphere (Lima latitude 12 deg S) over 11 declinations from -37 to +63 deg show ...

The cosmic background radiation circa ν2K [PDF]

open access: greenNuclear Physics B - Proceedings Supplements, 2001
We describe the implications of cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations and galaxy and cluster surveys of large scale structure (LSS) for theories of cosmic structure formation, especially emphasizing the recent Boomerang and Maxima CMB balloon experiments.
