Inflation model constraints from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe three-year data
Inflation model constraints from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe three-year data
We extract parameters relevant for distinguishing among single-field inflation models from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) three-year data set, and also from WMAP in combination with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxy power spectrum. Our analysis leads to the following conclusions: 1) the Harrison--Zel'dovich model is consistent with …
