We report preliminary results relative to a balloon-borne search for the large-scale anisotropy carried out in 1980 by means of two far infrared photometers centered at 400 and 1100 microns. While these results are consistent with those obtained in an earlier flight, the second, shorter wavelength channel included in the 1980 work provides interesting insights into the influence of galactic dust on such far infrared observations.

AbstractRecent precise observations of the microwave and submillimeter cosmic background radiation are summarized, including rocket experiments, the FIRAS (Far InfraRed Absolute Spectrophotometer) on the COBE, CN results, and microwave measurements. Theoretical implications are summarized.

A liquid helium cooled two-beam far infrared interferometer has been successfully flown in a Black Brant III B rocket. The detector was a germanium bolometer cooled to a temperature of 0.37 K by a liquid He3 refrigerator. The sensitive range was between approximately 5 and 50 cm−1. Satisfactory cosmic spectra were not obtained because of contamination by radiation from the earth.

Division VIII gathers astronomers engaged in the study of the visible and invisible matter in the Universe at large, from Local Group galaxies via distant galaxies and galaxy clusters to the large-scale structure of the Universe and the cosmic background radiation.


We summarize the present knowledge of the anisotropies of the cosmic background radiation at angular scales over 1° and present recent data on the dipole and quadrupole harmonics from the Florence group. Reviewing models of cosmic structures, we describe the inferences that can be drawn from the data provided that their origin is extragalactic. We end with a critical discussion of the connection of the background anisotropies with the large-scale properties of the Universe.
