Cosmic Background Radiation Cosmology Astronomy

Homepage for a research project that, in 1998 and 2003, used a balloon-borne telescope to measure minute anisotropies of the cosmic background radiation. Features press releases, technical papers and data files.

• The Cosmic Microwave Background - Review article by A. W. Jones and A. N. Lasenby (Cambridge University) about the electromagnetic remnants of the big bang phase. Requires undergraduate-level physics knowledge. Published in the electronic review journal, Living Reviews in Relativity.
• MSAM/TopHat High Altitude Scientific Balloons - A series of scientic experiments flying as balloon payloads in Texas and Antarctica, designed to measure the medium-scale anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR).
• Introduction to the Cosmic Microwave Background - Basic explanations of key concepts related to the cosmology cosmic background radiation, including the big bang models cosmology of an expanding universe and the ripples in cosmology the density of the early universe that led cosmology to the galaxies and stars that can be cosmology seen today. By Wayne
• Planck Satellite - Homepage of an ESA mission due to be cosmology launched in cosmology late 2008, and designed to make cosmology precision measurements of the cosmology cosmic background radiation. Includes cosmology an image gallery, a science overview, cosmology a technical cosmology overview and additional material.
• WMAP Mission homepage - Homepage of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, a NASA satellite launched in 2001. The goal of WMAP are precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background, the "electromagnetic echo" of the big bang phase of the early universe.
• Legacy Archive for Microwave Data Analysis - Contains both original data and descriptions for NASA\\'s cosmic background radiation past missions to explore the cosmic background radiation, cosmic background radiation notably about the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satellite.
• BOOMERanG (Caltech) - One of the homepages of the BOOMERanG project, cosmology a balloon-borne millimeter-wave telescope designed to study the cosmology anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation. Includes cosmology a project overview, a blog, and data releases.
• BOOMERanG Project - Homepage for a research project that, in 1998 astronomy and 2003, astronomy used a balloon-borne telescope to measure astronomy minute anisotropies of the astronomy cosmic background radiation. Features astronomy press releases, technical papers and data astronomy files.
