Anisotropía de la radiación cósmica del cuerpo negro
Resumen
La radiación cósmica de fondo de microondas apoya la teoría del Big Bang, pero las observaciones aún no han detectado las fluctuaciones de densidad primordial predichas. Se necesita más investigación para comprender estas huellas perdidas en el universo temprano.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Cosmología Cosmología.
- La astrofísica es la astrofísica.
Sus antecedentes:
- La radiación térmica del universo a 2.75 K proporciona evidencia para el modelo del Big Bang.
- Esta radiación se originó en el universo temprano y se puede utilizar para probar modelos cosmológicos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el espectro y la isotropía de la radiación cósmica de fondo de microondas (CMB).
- Buscar huellas de las fluctuaciones de la densidad de masa primordial en el CMB.
Principales métodos:
- Utilizando sofisticados radiómetros de microondas desplegados en plataformas terrestres, en globos y por satélite.
- Analizando el espectro del CMB y su isotropía a gran escala.
Principales resultados:
- El espectro de la CMB coincide estrechamente con el espectro de un cuerpo negro (en unos pocos por ciento).
- La radiación CMB es altamente isotrópica (hasta el 0,01 por ciento), con una ligera anisotropía dipolo atribuida a nuestro movimiento.
- No se ha realizado ninguna detección estadísticamente significativa de las fluctuaciones de densidad primordial predichas en escalas angulares de aproximadamente 10 minutos de arco.
Conclusiones:
- Las observaciones actuales se alinean con la cosmología del Big Bang y las predicciones teóricas simples para las propiedades del CMB.
- La ausencia de fluctuaciones primordiales detectadas plantea un desafío a los modelos existentes y justifica una mayor investigación.

Radiation: Applications
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.

Absorption of Radiation
The rate of heat transfer by emitted radiation is described by the Stefan-Boltzmann law of radiation:
Detection of Black Holes
Although black holes were theoretically postulated in the 1920s, they remained outside the domain of observational astronomy until the 1970s.
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.

Gauss's Law: Spherical Symmetry
A charge distribution has spherical symmetry if the density of charge depends only on the distance from a point in space and not on the direction. In other words, if the system is rotated, it doesn't look different. For instance, if a sphere of radius R is uniformly charged with charge density ρ0, then the distribution has spherical symmetry. On the other hand, if a sphere of radius R is charged so that the top half of the sphere has a uniform charge density ρ1 and the bottom half has a uniform...
Gauss's Law: Cylindrical Symmetry
A charge distribution has cylindrical symmetry if the charge density depends only upon the distance from the axis of the cylinder and does not vary along the axis or with the direction about the axis. In other words, if a system varies if it is rotated around the axis or shifted along the axis, it does not have cylindrical symmetry. In real systems, we do not have infinite cylinders; however, if the cylindrical object is considerably longer than the radius from it that we are interested in,...
Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution: Problem Solving
Individual molecules in a gas move in random directions, but a gas containing numerous molecules has a predictable distribution of molecular speeds, which is known as the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, f(v).
This distribution function f(v) is defined by saying that the expected number N (v1,v2) of particles with speeds between v1 and v2 is given by
