Large-Angle Anomalies in the CMB
We review the recently found large-scale anomalies in the maps of temperature anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background. These include alignments of the largest modes of CMB anisotropy with each other and with geometry and direction of motion of the solar ssystem, and the unusually low power a...

| description | We review the recently found large-scale anomalies in the maps of temperature anisotropies in the
cosmic microwave background. These include alignments of the largest modes of CMB anisotropy
with each other and with geometry and direction of motion of the solar ssystem, and the unusually
low power at these largest scales. We discuss these findings in relation to expectation from standard
inflationary cosmology, their statistical significance, the tools to study them, and the various
attempts to explain them. |
