Calibrator Design for the COBE Far Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer (FIRAS)
J. C. Mather, D. J. Fixsen, R. A. Shafer +2
The photometric errors of the external calibrator for the FIRAS instrument on the COBE are smaller than the measurement errors on the cosmic microwave background (CMBR) spectrum (t…
The COBE Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment Search for the Cosmic Infrared Background: I. Limits and Detections
M. G. Hauser, R. G. Arendt, T. Kelsall +15
The DIRBE on the COBE spacecraft was designed primarily to conduct systematic search for an isotropic CIB in ten photometric bands from 1.25 to 240 microns. The results of that sea…
The COBE Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment Search for the Cosmic Infrared Background: IV. Cosmological Implications
E. Dwek, R. G. Arendt, M. G. Hauser +11
In this paper we examine the cosmological constraints of the recent DIRBE and FIRAS detection of the extragalactic background light between 125-5000 microns on the metal and star f…
The Spectrum of the Extragalactic Far Infrared Background from the COBE Firas Observations
D. J. Fixsen, E. Dwek, J. C. Mather +2
The COBE FIRAS data contain foreground emission from interplanetary, Galactic interstellar dust and extragalactic background emission. We use three different methods to separate th…
