Max's Cosmic Cinema
Here are some movies that I made to illustrate how the cosmic
microwave background (CMB) and galaxy power spectra change when you
alter various cosmological parameters.
The purpose is to provide some intuition for how we can measure these pesky
parameters (as in
this paper).
Feel free to copy and use these movies as you please.
All power spectra where computed with the
CMBfast
software package.
Angelica (my wife) has made some nice CMB polarization movies
here.
You can find more movies and a nice primer on
Wayne
Hu's CMB site. I have a summary of all CMB experiments
here.
