Interpretation of the cosmic microwave background radiation anisotropy detected by the COBE Differential Microwave Radiometer
Abstract
We compare the large-scale cosmic background anisotropy detected by the COBE Differential Microwave Radiometer (DMR) instrument to the sensitive previous measurements on various angular scales, and to the predictions of a wide variety of models of structure formation driven by gravitational instability. The observed anisotropy is consistent with all previously measured upper limits and with a number of dynamical models of structure formation. For example, the data agree with an unbiased cold dark matter (CDM) model with H_0_ = 50 km s^-1^ Mpc^-1^ and {DELTA}M/M = 1 in a 16 Mpc radius sphere. Other models, such as CDM plus massive neutrinos [hot dark matter (HDM)], or CDM with a nonzero cosmological constant are also consistent with the COBE detection and can provide the extra power seen on 5-10,000 km s^-1^ scales.

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.
