Nine-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Final Maps and Results

Bennett, C. L., Larson, D., Weiland, J. L. et al.

Understand

We present the final nine-year maps and basic results from the WMAP mission.

We provide new nine-year full sky temperature maps that were processed to reduce the asymmetry of the effective beams.
Temperature and polarization sky maps are examined to separate CMB anisotropy from foreground emission, and both types of signals are analyzed in detail.
The WMAP mission has resulted in a highly constrained LCDM cosmological model with precise and accurate parameters in agreement with a host of other cosmological measurements.
