On the rms anisotropy at 7 deg and 10 deg observed in the COBE-DMR two year sky maps

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the frequency-independent rms temperature fluctuations determined from the Cosmic Background Explorer-Differential Microwave Radiometer (COBE-DMR) two-year sky maps to infer the parameter Q(sub rms-PS), which characterizes the normalization of power-law models of primordial cosmological temperature anisotropy, for a forced fit to a scale-invariant Harrison-Zel'dovich (n = 1) spectral model.
Journal ArticleDOI

MAP: the Microwave Anisotropy Probe

TL;DR: In this paper, the design of the Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP) and some of the considerations that led to this design are discussed, as well as its launch in the year 2000.

Theoretical Overview of Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy

TL;DR: The theoretical basis for the prediction of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background is very well developed as discussed by the authors, and all of the primary anisotropy can be handled by linear perturbation theory, which allows a very accurate calculation of predicted anisotropic from different models of the Universe.
