First‐Year <i>Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe</i> ( <i>WMAP</i> ) Observations: Determination of Cosmological Parameters

WMAP precision data enables accurate testing of cosmological models. We find that the emerging standard model of cosmology, a flat Λ−dominated universe seeded by a nearly scalei...

First‐Year <i>Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe</i> ( <i>WMAP</i> ) Observations: Preliminary Maps and Basic Results

We present full sky microwave maps in five frequency bands (23 to 94 GHz) from the WMAP first year sky survey. Calibration errors are less than 0.5% and the low systematic error...

First‐Year<i>Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe</i>(<i>WMAP</i>) Observations: Foreground Emission

Full sky maps are made in five microwave frequency bands to separate the temperature anisotropy of the CMB from foreground emission. We define masks that excise regions of high ...

The<i>Microwave Anisotropy Probe</i>Mission

The purpose of the MAP mission is to determine the geometry, content, and evolution of the universe via a 13 arcmin full-width-half-max (FWHM) resolution full sky map of the tem...

First‐Year <i>Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe</i> ( <i>WMAP</i> ) Observations: Galactic Signal Contamination from Sidelobe Pickup

Since the Galactic center is ~1000 times brighter than fluctuations in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), CMB experiments must carefully account for stray Galactic pickup. W...

SEVEN-YEAR<i>WILKINSON MICROWAVE ANISOTROPY PROBE</i>(<i>WMAP</i>) OBSERVATIONS: COSMOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION

(Abridged) The 7-year WMAP data and improved astrophysical data rigorously\ntest the standard cosmological model and its extensions. By combining WMAP with\nthe latest distance ...
