TL;DR: In this paper, the first year of data from the differential microwave radiometers on the Cosmic Background Explorer was presented, and the angular autocorrelation of the signal in each radiometer channel and cross-correlation between channels were consistent and gave a primordial fluctuation power-law spectrum with index of 1.1 +/- 0.5, and an rms-quadrupole-normalized amplitude of 16 +/- 4 micro-K.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Far-Infrared Absolute Spectrophotomer (FIRAS) instrument on the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite was used to obtain a blackbody spectrum within 3.4 x 10(exp -8) ergs/sq cm/s/sr cm over the frequency range from 2 to 20/cm (5-0.5 mm).
Journal ArticleDOI
The COBE Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment Search for the Cosmic Infrared Background. I. Limits and Detections

TL;DR: The results of the DIRBE search were presented in this paper, showing that only the 140 and 240 μm data provided candidate detections of the CIB. But no plausible solar system or Galactic source of the observed 140 and 120 μm residuals can be identified, leading to the conclusion that the C IB has been detected at levels of νIν = 25 ± 7 and 14 ± 3 nW m-2 sr-1 at 140 and240 μm, respectively.
