Abstract:
The Cambridge Cosmic Anisotropy Telescope (CAT) has recently made the first
detailed image of primordial anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background
(CMB) radiation at 15 GHz. Preliminary results from CAT observations of a
second field are presented here. These new data
show excess power on angular scales of spherical harmonic multipoles
(i.e. around half a degree), at levels consistent with the first
published detection. These two results mark the downturn in the CMB power
spectrum establishing the presence of the first Doppler peak, and by
constraining its position also limit values of and .
