The study of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) has played a crucial role in establishing a new standard of precision in the determination of cosmological parameters. The full-sky, high-resolution maps of the CMB recently produced by the WMAP space mission, have reinforced the evidence in favor of a fiat universe, dominated by dark matter and dark energy, and consistent with the predictions of the inflationary scenario.

Abstract
The study of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) has played a crucial role in establishing a new standard of precision in the determination of cosmological parameters. The full-sky, high-resolution maps of the CMB recently produced by the WMAP space mission, have reinforced the evidence in favor of a fiat universe, dominated by dark matter and dark energy, and consistent with the predictions of the inflationary scenario. Further high-precision observations of the CMB, such as those that will be carried on by ESA's Planck Surveyor, will further strengthen our knowledge of the Universe.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
