摘要：

The cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) has a blackbody spectrum within 3.4x10(-8) ergs cm(-2)s(-1)sr(-1) cm over the frequency range from 2 to 20 cm(-1) (5-0.5 mm). These measurements, derived sr from the FIRAS instrument on the COBE satellite, imply stringent limits on energy release in the early universe after t similar to 1 year and redshift z similar to 3x10(6). The deviations are less than 0.03% of the peak brightness, with an rms value of 0.01%, and the dimensionless cosmological distortion parameters are limited to y <2.5x10(-5) and mu <3.3x10(-4) (95% confidence level). The temperature of the CMBR is 2.726+/-0.010 K (95% confidence level systematic).
