With the TRIS experiment we have performed absolute measurements of the sky brightness in a sky circle at $delta = +42^{circ}$ at the frequencies $ u =$ 0.60, 0.82 and 2.5 GHz. In this paper we discuss the techniques used to separate the different contributions to the sky emission and give an evaluation of the absolute temperature of the Cosmic Microwave Background. For the black-body temperature of the CMB we get: $T_{cmb}^{th}=(2.837 pm 0.129 pm 0.066)K$ at $ u=0.60$ GHz; $T_{cmb}^{th}=(2.803 pm 0.051 ^{+0.430} _{-0.300})K$ at $ u=0.82$ GHz; $T_{cmb}^{th}=(2.516 pm 0.139 pm 0.284)K$ at $ u=2.5$ GHz. The first error bar is statistic (1$sigma$) while the second one is systematic. These results represent a significant improvement with respect to the previous measurements. We have also set new limits to the free-free distortions, $ -6.3 times 10^{-6} < Y_{ff} < 12.6 times 10^{-6}$, and slightly improved the Bose-Einstein upper limit, $|mu| < 6 times 10^{-5}$, both at 95% confidence level.
At frequencies close to 1 GHz the sky diffuse radiation is a superposition of radiation of Galactic origin, the 3 K Relic or Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, and the signal produced by unresolved extragalactic sources. Because of their differen
Departures of the energy spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from a perfect blackbody probe a fundamental property of the universe -- its thermal history. Current upper limits, dating back some 25 years, limit such spectral distortions
Measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) spectral distortions (SDs) will open a new window on the very early universe, providing new information complementary to that gathered from CMB temperature and polarization anisotropies. In this p
We propose a new mechanism by which dark matter (DM) can affect the early universe. The hot interior of a macroscopic DM, or macro, can behave as a heat reservoir so that energetic photons are emitted from its surface. This results in spectral distor
CMB spectral distortions are induced by Compton collisions with electrons. We review the various schemes to characterize the anisotropic CMB with a non-Planckian spectrum. We advocate using logarithmically averaged temperature moments as the preferre
