TLDR
In this article, it is shown that the absence of noticeable deviations from the Planckian spectrum enables us to set limits to the energy release in the early universe (102 < z < 108).Abstract:
Many of the cosmological models currently under discussion and theories of the origin of galaxies which involve antimatter, strong turbulence and so on result in significant energy release during the evolution of the Universe. It is evident that significant energy production should lead to distortions of the spectrum of the relic radiation. The absence of noticeable deviations from the Planckian spectrum enables us to set limits to the energy release in the early Universe (102 < z < 108). But in order to have a clear picture of possible distortions, let us first review the idealized situation.read more

The evolution of CMB spectral distortions in the early Universe
TL;DR: In this article, the shape of the spectral distortions caused by energy release due to annihilating dark matter, decaying relict particles, dissipation of acoustic waves, and quasi-instantaneous heating was explicitly computed.

Another look at distortions of the Cosmic Microwave Background spectrum
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the effect of the IGM heating on the CIB spectral distortions and show that a y-type contribution of several × 10−6 is to be expected, a factor of a few below the COBE/FIRAS upper limit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in cosmology
TL;DR: The classical cosmological theories, based on the solution of field equations, have encountered a certain number of difficulties as mentioned in this paper, and cosmologists tend to consider new theories, especially for the early epochs of the Universe where general relativity is expected to fail.

The interaction of matter and radiation in a hot-model universe
Ya. B. Zel'dovich,R. A. Sunyaev +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that any injection of energy att>1010 sec (red shiftz <105) leads to deviation from an equilibrium spectrum, and that a period of neutral hydrogen in the evolution of the universe is unavoidable.

R. A. Sunyaev,Ya. B. Zel'dovich +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors set upper limits to the amount of antimatter in the universe, the parameters of primaeval turbulence, and the adiabatic fluctuation spectrum for small masses.
