COSMIC BACKGROUND IMAGES AND POWER SPECTRA FROM ACBAR
Jeffrey Peterson
Carnegie Mellon University
The Arcminute Cosmology Bolometer Array Receiver on the Viper telescope has been used to map the Cosmic Microwave Background with 5 arcminute angular resolution. These images will be presented along with the associated angular power spectra. These measurement complement those made with the WMAP satellite, providing information on the damping of acoustic oscillations during the ionized era. In addition, the ACBAR images show possible evidence of secondary CMB anisotropy. Constraints to allowed world model parameters will be discussed.
