Sentences with phrase «degree angular scale»

Pryke searched for polarized waves with the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer, a microwave telescope near the South Pole.

But the new results from the Degree Angular Scale Interferometer (DASI) and the Balloon Observations of Millimetric Extragalactic Radiation and Geophysics (BOOMERANG) project reveal two peaks and strongly suggest the presence of a third one.

Detection of B - mode polarization at degree angular scales by BICEP2.

BICEP2 I: Detection of B - mode polarization at degree angular scales.

Another result that we don't really understand is that we don't see any temperature fluctuations in the microwave background on scales larger than 60 degrees [the angular size in the sky of the fluctuations].

So we put these two ideas together, applying Asantha's mapping approach to new wavelengths, and decided that the best way to get at the extragalactic background was to measure spatial fluctuations on angular scales around a degree.

Another experiment carried out in 1990 at the South Pole by Phil Lubin of the University of California at Santa Barbara and his colleagues may have detected primordial ripples at angular scales of 1.5 degrees, though they are not yet convinced that they can rule out a galactic origin for their signal.
