From the time-ordered data to the Maximum-Likelihood temperature maps of the Cosmic Microwave Backgorund anisotropy

R. Stompor, A. Balbi, J. Borrill +10

We review selected methods of the Cosmic Microwave Background data analysis appropriate for the analysis of the largest currently available data sets. We focus on techniques of the…

CMB Analysis of Boomerang & Maxima & the Cosmic Parameters {Omega_tot,Omega_b h^2,Omega_cdm h^2,Omega_Lambda,n_s}

J. R. Bond, P. Ade, A. Balbi +40

We show how estimates of parameters characterizing inflation-based theories of structure formation localized over the past year when large scale structure (LSS) information from ga…

Cosmological Parameter Estimation from CMB Experiments

A. Balbi

I review the general aspects of cosmological parameter estimation from observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies in the framework of inflationa…

Implications for quintessence models from MAXIMA-1 and BOOMERANG-98

A. Balbi, C. Baccigalupi, S. Matarrese +2

Prompted by the recent MAXIMA-1 and BOOMERANG-98 measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy power spectrum, and motivated by the results from the observation…

Secondary CMB anisotropies from the kinetic SZ effect

P. Valageas, A. Balbi, J. Silk

We present an analytic model, based on previous works which tackled the reionization history of the universe, which allows us to describe the generation of the secondary CMB anisot…

Cosmology from Maxima-1, Boomerang and COBE/DMR CMB Observations

A. H. Jaffe, P. A. R. Ade, A. Balbi +39

Recent results from BOOMERANG-98 and MAXIMA-1, taken together with COBE-DMR, provide consistent and high signal-to-noise measurements of the CMB power spectrum at spherical harmoni…

Asymmetric Beams in Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy Experiments

J. H. P. Wu, A. Balbi, J. Borrill +10

We propose a new formalism to handle asymmetric beams in the data analysis of cosmic microwave background anisotropy experiments. For any beam shape, the formalism finds the optima…

MAXIMA-1: A Measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy on angular scales of 10 arcminutes to 5 degrees

S. Hanany, P. Ade, A. Balbi +19

We present a map and an angular power spectrum of the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from the first flight of MAXIMA. MAXIMA is a balloon-borne experiment with…
