George F. Smoot (auth.), M. Signore, C. Dupraz (eds.)
The book discusses the preliminary results of the COBE satellite (Cosmic Background Explorer). First, the three instruments on board COBE: FIRAS (Far Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer), DMR (Differential Microwave Radiometer), DIRBE (Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment), and the data acquisition and reduction techniques, are described by members of the COBE Science Team. Most of the subsequent material is devoted to the cosmological implications of the observations.
The topics covered are:
