Review of Cosmic Background Radiation Spectrum Measurements:Limits on Distortions, Energy Release, and Cosmological Processes

Description/Abstract

This paper reviews the three major cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) spectrum measurement programs conducted and published since the last (XVII) IAU General Assembly. The results are consistent with a Planckian spectrum with temperature 2.72 {+-} 0.03 K spanning a wavelength range of 0.1 to 12 cm. Limits on possible distortions and implications are outlined. Ongoing and future measurements are discussed.
