An Upper Limit to Arcminute‐Scale Anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation at 142 GHz [PDF]
We present limits to anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) at angular scales of a few arcminutes. The observations were made at a frequency of 142 GHz using a six-element bolometer array (the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Infrared ...

Enhanced Polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation from Thermal Gravitational Waves [PDF]
If inflation was preceded by a radiation era, then at the time of inflation there will exist a decoupled thermal distribution of gravitons. Gravitational waves generated during inflation will be amplified by the process of stimulated emission into the ...

The Hard VHE γ-Ray Emission in High-Redshift TeV Blazars: Comptonization of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation in an Extended Jet? [PDF]
Observations of very-high-energy (VHE; E > 250 GeV) γ-ray emission from several blazars at z > 0.1 have placed stringent constraints on the elusive spectrum and intensity of the intergalactic infrared background radiation (IIBR).

Spectral Distortion of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation by Scattering on Hot Electrons: Exact Calculations [PDF]
The spectral distortion of the cosmic microwave background radiation produced by the inverse Compton scattering on hot electrons in clusters of galaxies (thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect) is calculated for arbitrary optical depth and electron temperature.

Extrapolation of Galactic Dust Emission at 100 Microns to Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Frequencies Using FIRAS [PDF]
We present predicted full-sky maps of submillimeter and microwave emission from the diffuse interstellar dust in the Galaxy. These maps are extrapolated from the 100 μm emission and 100/240 μm flux ratio maps that Schlegel, Finkbeiner, & Davis generated ...

Cosmological Production of Vector Bosons and Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation [PDF]
The intensive cosmological creation of vector W, Z- bosons in the cosmological model with the relative units is considered. Field theoretical models are studied, which predict that the CMB radiation and the baryon matter in the universe can be products ...

A measurement of the medium-scale anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation [PDF]
Observations from the first flight of the Medium Scale Anisotropy Measurement (MSAM) are analyzed to place limits on Gaussian fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR).
