The cosmic microwave background radiation and cosmology
Classical and Quantum Gravity, 1994I review recent observational results on the fundamental properties of the cosmic microwave-background radiation, with special emphasis on the findings of the COBE satellite. These include the present temperature of the radiation, , and the first convincing detection of angular variations in its intensity, at a level on scales .

We perform a likelihood analysis of the recent results on the anisotropy of cosmic microwave background radiation from the BOOMERanG and DASI experiments to show that they single out an effective number of neutrinos in good agreement with standard big ...

Signatures of kinetic and magnetic helicity in the cosmic microwave background radiation
, 2002$P$ and $\mathrm{CP}$ violation in cosmology can be manifested as large-scale helical velocity flows in the ambient plasma and as primordial helical magnetic fields.

Observations of the Isotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1992Over the past decade the anisotropy of the microwave background radiation has emerged as a field of fundamental importance to astrophysics due to its significance in theories of galaxy formation and in the quest for the physical origin of fluctuations. The history of the development of this subject may be divided into three phases. In the first phase,

Precision of slow-roll predictions for the cosmic microwave background radiation anisotropies
, 1999Inflationary predictions for the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation are often based on the slow-roll approximation. We study the precision with which the multipole moments of the temperature two-point correlation function can be ...

Measurement of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, 1968The techniques associated with the measurement of antenna temperature at microwave frequencies are discussed. A number of experiments designed to measure cosmic microwave background radiation are described and their results compared. These results give a very good fit to a 3/spl deg/K black body curve between 1.4 and 35 GHz.

History of the Discovery of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation [PDF]
Physica Scripta, 1980 Radio astronomy has added greatly to our understanding of the structure and dynamics of the universe. The cosmic microwave background radiation, considered a relic of the explosion at the beginning of the universe some 18 billion years ago, is one of the most powerful aids in determining these features of the universe. This paper is about the discovery

Ripples in the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
2016The Cosmic Microwave Background Explorer satellite (COBE) of NASA, launched in 1989, measured with unprecedented precision the intensity of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) at many wavelengths and in all directions over the sky. The spatial resolution (sharpness) of the microwave optics in the satellite was 7°—14 times the diameter of ...
