Have Acoustic Oscillations been Detected in the Current Cosmic Microwave Background Data?

Astrophysics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The angular power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background has been measured out to sufficiently small angular scale to encompass a few acoustic oscillations. We use a phenomenological fit to the angular power spectrum to quantify the statistical significance of these oscillations and discuss the cosmological implications of such a finding.
