Structure in the COBE Differential Microwave Radiometer First-Year Maps

Smoot and others’ 1992 Structure in the COBE Differential Microwave Radiometer First-Year Maps, published in Astrophysical Journal Letters, is one of the program’s working technical references. Cited in Book V (Categorical Macrocosm), Part 1, Chapter Boundary Data: CMB and CνB as Constraint Surfaces, where the program draws on it in the context of “The CMB as Temporal-Epoch Constraint Surface The cosmic microwave background was discovered by Penzias and Wilson in 1965 and mapped with exquisite precision by COBE (1992) , WMAP….”
