On the RMS Anisotropy at 7 degrees and 10 degrees Observed in the COBE-DMR Two Year Sky Maps

A. J. Banday, K. M. Gorski, L. Tenorio +6

The frequency-independent RMS temperature fluctuations determined from the COBE-DMR two year sky maps are used to infer the parameter Q_{rms-PS}, which characterizes the normalizat…

Gaussian Statistics of the Cosmic Microwave Background: Correlation of Temperature Extrema In the COBE DMR Two-Year Sky Maps

A. Kogut, A. J. Banday, C. L. Bennett +3

We use the two-point correlation function of the extrema points (peaks and valleys) in the COBE Differential Microwave Radiometers (DMR) 2-year sky maps as a test for non-Gaussian…

CMB Maps at 0.5 Degree Resolution II: Unresolved Features

A. Kogut, G. Hinshaw, C. L. Bennett

High-contrast peaks in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy can appear as unresolved sources to observers. We fit simulated CMB maps generated with a cold dark matter m…

CMB Maps at 0.5 degree Resolution I: Full-Sky Simulations and Basic Results

G. Hinshaw, C. L. Bennett, A. Kogut

We have simulated full-sky maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy expected from Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models at 0.5 and 1.0 degree angular resolution. Statistica…

On Determining the Spectrum of Primordial Inhomogeneity from the COBE DMR Sky Maps: II. Results of Two Year Data Analysis

K. M. Gorski, G. Hinshaw, A. J. Banday +5

A new technique of Fourier analysis on a cut sky (Gorski, 1994) has been applied to the two year COBE DMR sky maps. The Bayesian power spectrum estimation results are consistent wi…

Correlated Errors in the COBE DMR Sky Maps

C. H. Lineweaver, G. F. Smoot, C. L. Bennett +6

The {\it COBE} DMR sky maps contain low-level correlated noise. We obtain estimates of the amplitude and pattern of the correlated noise from three techniques: angular averages of…
