Cover picture (WMAP
Science Team):
An all-sky Mollweide projection of the celestial sphere as recently
observed by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP : Bennett et
al., ApJSuppSer, 2003, 148, 1) with the galactic center in the middle.
This map is a spectral combination such as to show vividly the cosmic
microwave background (CMB) anisotropies which typically span a third of
a degree to ninety degrees in angular scale. This map is dominated by
degree-scale fluctuations with peak to peak amplitude of only +-70
parts
in a million relative to the total 2.725 K emission of the CMB.
Projection Mollweide de toute la
sphère céleste telle que récemment observée
par WMAP (Bennett et al., ApJSuppSer, 2003, 148, 1) avec le centre
galactique au milieu. Cette carte résulte d'une combinaison
spectrale telle que les anisotropies du fond de rayonnement
cosmologique
à 3K (CMB) ressortent au mieux. Ces anisotropies couvrent les
échelles angulaires du tiers de degré jusqu'à 90
degrés. La carte est dominée par les fluctuations de
l'ordre du degré, avec des amplitudes pic-pic de seulement +-70
millionièmes par rapport à l'émission totale
à 2.725 K du CMB.
