Abstract: (arXiv)
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 harmonic multipole bands over 2<\ell\lta800. Analysis of the combined data yields 68% (95%) confidence limits on the total density, , the baryon density, , and the scalar spectral tilt, . These data are consistent with inflationary initial conditions for structure formation. Taken together with other cosmological observations, they imply the existence of both non-baryonic dark matter and dark energy in the universe.Note:
