Using recent experimental limits on $mu$ distortions from COBE FIRAS, and the large lever-arm spanning the damping of sub-Jeans scale fluctuations to the scale of the COBE DMR fluctuations, we set a constraint on the slope of the primordial power spectrum $n$. It is possible to analytically calculate the contribution over the full range of scales and redshifts, correctly taking into account fluctuation growth and damping as well as thermalization processes. We find that the 95upper limit is weakly dependent on cosmological parameters, e.g. $n<1.54 (h=0.5)$ and $n<1.56 (h=1.0)$ for $Omega_0=1$ with marginally weaker constraints for $Omega_0<1$ in a flat $Omega_0 +Omega_Lambda=1$ universe. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9402045 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
