	Cosmic microwave background radiation - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) is a form of electromagnetic radiation that fills the whole of the universe.
		The period after the emission of the CMB and the observation of the first stars is semi-humorously referred to by cosmologists as the dark age, and is a period which is under intense study by astronomers.
		Of these experiments, the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite that was flown in 1989-1996 is probably the most famous and which made the first detection of the large scale anisotropies (other than the dipole).

		A new 10 meter diameter telescope is being constructed for deployment at the NSF South Pole research station.
		The telescope is designed for conducting large-area millimeter and sub-millimeter wave surveys of faint, low contrast emission, as required to map primary and secondary anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background.
		The WMAP data, especially combined with finer angular scale CMB anisotropy measurements made with ACBAR and CBI and with other probes of large scale structure have provided a high degree of confidence in the now standard cosmological model and allowed tight constraints to be placed on many of its parameters.

	Cosmic Ray Modulation
		Cosmic rays enter the heliosphere due to random motions and diffuse inward toward the Sun, gyrating around the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and scattering at irregularities in the field.
		Thus Equation 4 is an equation explicitly representing the transport of cosmic rays in the heliosphere by convection, diffusion and drift.
		Figure 10 shows the components of the anisotropy as viewed from the Earth and Figure 11 shows the geometry of the Earth's orbit which must also be included in an analysis of the anisotropy.

		Anisotropy measurements with the ten meter will be essential if the universe is open.
		Also, this telescope may be the only instrument with enough sensitivity at high frequencies to separate thermal S-Z sources from primary anisotropy.
		With this telescope we will be breaking new ground, observing at higher frequency with a finer beam, and with higher sensitivity than has been available before.

		The anisotropy of the CIBR is key to probing the evolution of structure formation and testing the standard paradigm (cold dark matter) and will be studied with the EDGE experiment.

		When the visible universe was one hundredth of its present size, the cosmic microwave background was a hundred times hotter (273 degrees above absolute zero or 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature at which water freezes to form ice on the Earth's surface).
		In addition to this cosmic microwave background radiation, the early universe was filled with hot hydrogen gas with a density of about 1000 atoms per cubic centimeter.

		The Cosmic Anisotropy Telescope (CAT) is a three element, ground-based interferometer telescope, of novel design [85].
		Accurate information on the point source contribution to the CAT2 field maps, which contain sources at much lower levels, has been obtained by surveying the fields with the Ryle Telescope at Cambridge, and the multi-frequency nature of the CAT data can be used to separate the remaining CMB and Galactic components.
		When interpreting this map, however, it should remembered that for an interferometer with just three horns, the `synthesised' beam of the telescope has large sidelobes, and it is these sidelobes that cause the regular features seen in the map.
