Inflation and the cosmic microwave background [PDF]

AIPConf.Proc.476:11-17,1999, 1999
Various issues concerning the impact of inflationary models on parameter estimation from the cosmic microwave background are reviewed, with particular focus on the range of possible outcomes of inflationary models and on the amount which might be learnt about inflation from the microwave background.

The Temperature of the Cosmic Microwave Background [PDF]

Astrophys.J.707:916-920,2009, 2009
The FIRAS data are independently recalibrated using the WMAP data to obtain a CMB temperature of 2.7260 +/- 0.0013. Measurements of the temperature of the cosmic microwave background are reviewed. The determination from the measurements from the literature is cosmic microwave background temperature of 2.72548 +/- 0.00057 K.

The Cosmic Microwave Background [PDF]

Living Reviews in Relativity, 1998
We present a brief review of current theory and observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). New predictions for cosmological defect theories and an overview of the inflationary theory are discussed.

The Cosmic Microwave Background [PDF]

AnnalesHenriPoincare4:S275-S290,2003, 2002
I review the discovery of the temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation. The underlying theory and the implications for cosmology are reviewed, and I describe the prospects for future progress.

Complex Visibilities of Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies [PDF]

Phys.Rev.D63:123001,2001, 2000
We study the complex visibilities of the cosmic microwave background anisotropies that are observables in interferometric observations of the cosmic microwave background, using the multipole expansion methods commonly adopted in analyzing single-dish experiments.

Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2005
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy is our richest source of cosmological information; the standard cosmological model was largely established thanks to study of the temperature anisotropies.

Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization [PDF]

Annals of Physics, 1995
Polarization of the cosmic microwave background, though not yet detected, provides a source of information about cosmological parameters complementary to temperature fluctuations.

The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation [PDF]

Phys.Rept. 333 (2000) 245-267, 2000
We summarize the theoretical and observational status of the study of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation. Its thermodynamic spectrum is a robust prediction of the Hot Big Bang cosmology and has been confirmed observationally. There are now 76 observations of Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropy, which we present in a table with references.

Polarization of Cosmic Microwave Background

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2016
In this work we present an extension of the ROMA map-making code for data analysis of Cosmic Microwave Background polarization, with particular attention given to the inflationary polarization B-modes.

Lorentz invariance violation in the neutrino sector: a joint analysis from big bang nucleosynthesis and the cosmic microwave background

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017
We investigate constraints on Lorentz invariance violation in the neutrino sector from a joint analysis of big bang nucleosynthesis and the cosmic microwave background.
