Status of Cosmological Parameters from the Cosmic Microwave Background
Offered By: APS Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the latest findings from the Planck mission and their impact on cosmology in this 39-minute conference talk by Krzysztof Gorski from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Delve into the highlights of the European Space Agency's recent data release, which includes comprehensive temperature data and initial polarization measurements from the Planck satellite. Discover how these observations, combined with data from groundbreaking suborbital experiments like ACT/ACTPol, SPT/SPTPol, and BICEP2/Keck, are advancing our understanding of cosmology, early Universe physics, and astrophysics. Learn about the current status of cosmological parameters derived from cosmic microwave background measurements and their implications for our understanding of the Universe's origins and evolution.
