Present and Future of the Cosmic Microwave Background
Jose L. Sanz, Enrique Martinez-Gonzalez, Laura Cayon
The study of cosmic background radiation is of outstanding importance for our understanding of the universe. These review articles by outstanding specialists cover the present status of observations of the spectrum and the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Experimental developments, data analysis and related theoretical aspects are also treated. The aim of the volume is to review and discuss at a level accessible to non-specialised astronomers and graduate students the most recent developments in this field as well as the future perspectives for astrophysics and cosmology in general.
