Measurements of the absolute temperature of the relic radiation observations at0.6, 0.82 and2.5 GHz from Alpe Gera and the South Pole

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento C

Summary

In spite of the very accurate results obtained by the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE), the existence of deviations from a Planckian distribution in the spectrum of the relic or cosmic background radiation (CBR) at frequencies near and below 1 GHz is still an open question. The detection of distortions would be very important for the cosmological implications they can have. We present results from a program of measurements of the absolute temperature of the CBR at low frequencies carried out by a Milano-Berkeley collaboration. Future programs are also discussed.
