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 ...

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.

On parton distributions in a photon gas [PDF]
In some cases it may be useful to know parton distributions in a photon gas. This may be relevant, e.g., for the analysis of interactions of high energy cosmic ray particles with the cosmic microwave background radiation. The latter can be considered as a gas of photons with an almost perfect blackbody spectrum.

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]
An intensive cosmological production of vector W and Z bosons is considered within a cosmological model that involves a relative scale of measurement. Field-theory models are studied in which cosmic microwave background radiation and baryon matter may ...

Limits on the Polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation at Multipoles up to l ~ 2000 [PDF]
We report upper limits on the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) as measured with the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI), a 13 element interferometer that operates in the 26-36 GHz band and is sited on Llano de Chajnantor in ...

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).

Stringent Limit on Primordial Magnetic Fields from the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. [PDF]
Primordial magnetic fields (PMFs), being present before the epoch of cosmic recombination, induce small-scale baryonic density fluctuations. These inhomogeneities lead to an inhomogeneous recombination process that alters the peaks and heights of the ...
