Effect of the cosmological constant on large-scale anisotropies in the microwave background

OSTI ID:5765537
Calculations of the large-scale microwave-background temperature anisotropy induced by flat-spectrum primordial adiabatic perturbations in a flat Friedmann universe with a nonzero cosmological constant ..lambda.. show that the ..lambda..-term helps overcome the difficulties posed by models with cold, weakly interacting particles (axions, gravitinos). In a cold-particle cosmology with the ..lambda..-term, the quadrupole anisotropy diminishes to ..delta..T/Troughly-equal10/sup -5/.
