The physics of microwave background anisotropies
Open accessAbstract
The residual radiation from the Big Bang is observable as the cosmic microwave background–a near-uniform sea of photons with an average temperature of 2.7 K. Small variations in the temperature of the microwave background reflect the conditions that prevailed in the early Universe. Analysis of the physical mechanisms by which these anisotropies formed shows how they may be used to constrain fundamental cosmological parameters and provide insight into the origin of large-scale structure in the Universe.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
