10 May 1996 | | Journal: | Astrophys.J. 473 (1996) 576 | | Abstract: | We have refined the analysis of the data from the FIRAS (Far InfraRed Absolute Spectrophotometer) on board the COBE (COsmic Background Explorer). The FIRAS measures the difference between the cosmic microwave background and a precise blackbody spectrum. We find new tighter upper limits on general deviations from a blackbody spectrum. The RMS deviations are less than 50 parts per million of the peak of the CMBR. For the Comptonization and chemical potential we find $ y < 15 imes10^{-6}$ and $ mu < 9 imes10^{-5}$ (95\% CL). There are also refinements in the absolute temperature, 2.728 $pm$ 0.004 K (95\% CL), and dipole direction, $(ell,b)=(264.14^circpm0.30, 48.26^circpm0.30)$ (95\% CL), and amplitude, $3.372 pm 0.007$ mK (95\% CL). All of these results agree with our previous publications. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9605054 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
