Five-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Cosmological Interpretation
E. Komatsu, J. Dunkley, M. R. Nolta +16
(Abridged) The WMAP 5-year data strongly limit deviations from the minimal LCDM model. We constrain the physics of inflation via Gaussianity, adiabaticity, the power spectrum shape…
First Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Data Processing Methods and Systematic Errors Limits
G. Hinshaw, C. Barnes, C. L. Bennett +14
We describe the calibration and data processing methods used to generate full-sky maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from the first year of Wilkinson Microwave Anisotrop…
First Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Interpretation of the TT and TE Angular Power Spectrum Peaks
L. Page, M. R. Nolta, C. Barnes +12
The CMB has distinct peaks in both its temperature angular power spectrum (TT) and temperature-polarization cross-power spectrum (TE). From the WMAP data we find the first peak in…
First Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Foreground Emission
C. Bennett, R. S. Hill, G. Hinshaw +13
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 for…
The Optical Design and Characterization of the Microwave Anisotropy Probe
L. Page, C. Jackson, C. Barnes +12
The primary goal of the MAP satellite, now in orbit, is to make high fidelity polarization sensitive maps of the full sky in five frequency bands between 20 and 100 GHz. From these…
The Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP) Mission
C. L. Bennett, M. Bay, M. Halpern +12
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 temper…
