Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy Correlation Function and Topology from Simulated Maps for<i>MAP</i>
We have simulated cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy maps for several COBE-Differential Microwave Radiometer experiment normalized cold dark matter (CDM) cosmogonies, to make predictions for the MAP experiment, an upcoming whole-sky CMB anisotropy space mission. We have studied the sensitivity of the simulated MAP data to cosmology, sky coverage, and …
