Structure in the Cosmic Microwave Background

The papers here are generally available in two forms: (1) HTML, for browsing, and (2) Postscript, for downloading and printing. The HTML versions are produced using the LaTeX2HTML translater, with suitable customisation. Consequently you may need to adjust the text size in your browser so that the mathematical symbols -- which are displayed as graphics -- appear sensibly. (For example: do , and this, , look sensible?)
