Scientific paper

The study of the CMB has provided some of the most important input to cosmology in recent years. The verification of its blackbody spectrum provided the death blow to the standard Steady State theory. Further detailed search for departures from the strict blackbody law will give insight into secondary processes in the early Universe. The major question still not answered unequivocally is: how large are the fluctuations in the CMB? The actual detection of fluctuations and a description of their structure is one of the major goals of modern observational cosmology.
