Spectrum of the cosmic background radiation at millimeter wavelengths

The spectrum of the cosmic background radiation in five frequency bands extending from 2.3 to 11.0 cm with a balloon-borne liquid-helium-cooled photometer. The photometer compares the flux from the sky to the flux from an internal blackbody at 3.2 K. All five measurements are consistent with tempera...

description The spectrum of the cosmic background radiation in five frequency bands extending from 2.3 to 11.0 cm with a balloon-borne liquid-helium-cooled photometer. The photometer compares the flux from the sky to the flux from an internal blackbody at 3.2 K. All five measurements are consistent with temperatures in the range 2.78 + or = 0.11 K, which is in good agreement with tempratures measured at lower frequencies. No significant deviation from a thermal spectrum was found.
