Third Year WMAP Data Release

By Mark Trodden | March 16, 2006 1:48 pm

The three-year release of data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) took place earlier today. I’m sure one of us will provide a summary some time over the next week. For now, you can take a look at the third year papers.

I expect the one to read first (most of us won’t be reading all of them) is

Three-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Implications for Cosmology
