We study the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy due to spherically symmetric nonlinear structures in flat universes with dust and a cosmological constant. By modeling a time-evolving spherical compensated void/lump by Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi spacetimes, we numerically solve the null geodesic equations with the Einstein equations. We find that a nonlinear void redshifts the CMB photons that pass through it regardless of the distance to it. In contrast, a nonlinear lump blueshifts (or redshifts) the CMB photons if it is located near (or sufficiently far from) us. The present analysis comprehensively covers previous works based on a thin-shell approximation and a linear/second order perturbation method and the effects of shell thickness and full nonlinearity. Our results indicate that, if quasi-linear and large ($>100$Mpc) voids/lumps would exist, they could be observed as cold or hot spots with temperature variance $>10^{-5}$K in the CMB sky.

We analyze observations of the microwave sky made with the Python experiment in its fifth year of operation at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica. After modeling the noise and constructing a map, we extract the cosmic signal from the
data. We simultaneously estimate the angular power spectrum in eight bands ranging from large (l ~ 40) to small (l ~ 260) angular scales, with power detected in the first six bands. There is a significant rise in the power spectrum from large to smaller (l ~ 200) scales, consistent with that expected from acoustic oscillations in the early Universe. We compare this Python V map to a map made from data taken in the third year of Python. Python III observations were made at a frequency of 90 GHz and covered a subset of the region of the sky covered by Python V observations, which were made at 40 GHz. Good agreement is obtained both visually (with a filtered version of the map) and via a likelihood ratio test.
We constrain Galactic foreground contamination of the Python V cosmic microwave background anisotropy data by cross correlating it with foreground contaminant emission templates. To model foreground emission we use 100 and 12 $mu$m dust emission temp
lates and two point source templates based on the PMN survey. The analysis takes account of inter-modulation correlations in 8 modulations of the data that are sensitive to a large range of angular scales and also densely sample a large area of sky. As a consequence the analysis here is highly constraining. We find little evidence for foreground contamination in an analysis of the whole data set. However, there is indication that foregrounds are present in the data from the larger-angular-scale modulations of those Python V fields that overlap the region scanned earlier by the UCSB South Pole 1994 experiment. This is an independent consistency cross-check of findings from the South Pole 1994 data.
There have been vigorous research attempts to test various modified gravity theories by usingphysics of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Meanwhile, symmetry breaking such as Higgsmechanism is one of the most important phenomena in physics but t
here have been not so muchresearches to make them contact with cosmological observations. In this article, with the CMBpower spectra we try to distinguish two different scenarios of spontaneous symmetry breaking inprimordial era of the universe. The first model is based on a broken symmetric theory of gravity,which was suggested by A. Zee in 1979. The second model is an application of Palatini formalismto the first model. Perturbation equations are computed and they show differences originated fromthe property of symmetry. Furthermore, it turns out that two models have different features ofCMB power spectra with the same potential scale. This fact enables us to verify distinct kinds ofprimordial symmetry breaking with CMB physics.
We describe the Millimeter wave Anisotropy eXperiment IMaging Array (MAXIMA), a balloon-borne experiment designed to measure the temperature anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) on angular scales of 10 to 5 degrees . MAXIMA mapped the
CMB using 16 bolometric detectors in spectral bands centered at 150 GHz, 240 GHz, and 410 GHz, with 10 resolution at all frequencies. The combined receiver sensitivity to CMB anisotropy was ~40 microK/rt(sec). Systematic parasitic contributions were minimized by using four uncorrelated spatial modulations, thorough crosslinking, multiple independent CMB observations, heavily baffled optics, and strong spectral discrimination. Pointing reconstruction was accurate to 1, and absolute calibration was better than 4%. Two MAXIMA flights with more than 8.5 hours of CMB observations have mapped a total of 300 deg^2 of the sky in regions of negligible known foreground emission. MAXIMA results have been released in previous publications. MAXIMA maps, power spectra and correlation matrices are publicly available at http://cosmology.berkeley.edu/maxima
Primordial quantum fluctuations produced by inflation are conventionally assumed to be statistically homogeneous, a consequence of translational invariance. In this paper we quantify the potentially observable effects of a small violation of translat
ional invariance during inflation, as characterized by the presence of a preferred point, line, or plane. We explore the imprint such a violation would leave on the cosmic microwave background anisotropy, and provide explicit formulas for the expected amplitudes $<a_{lm}a_{lm}^*>$ of the spherical-harmonic coefficients.
