Abstract 9616338 Piccirillo The relict thermal cosmic microwave background radiation left over from the big bang carries the only information that is available on the distribution of matter in the very early universe. This award is for the US portion of a larger international (France, Italy and the US) collaboration which will measure the anisotropy of the CMBR from the new French/Italian station on Dome C in Antarctica (Concordia Station). This is one of the highest and coldest sites presently occupied in Antarctica. Because of the extreme cold there is very little water vapor in the atmosphere, and that means that it is likely to be a superb place from which to make CMBA anisotropy measurements. Evaluation of the site for future use is also a major goal of this project. ***

摘要 9616338 Piccirillo 大爆炸留下的残余热宇宙微波背景辐射携带着有关极早期宇宙中物质分布的唯一可用信息。 该奖项是授予更大的国际（法国、意大利和美国）合作中的美国部分，该合作将测量南极洲 Dome C 上的新法国/意大利站（康科迪亚站）的 CMBR 各向异性。 这是目前南极洲最高和最冷的地点之一。 由于极度寒冷，大气中的水蒸气很少，这意味着它可能是进行 CMBA 各向异性测量的绝佳场所。对场地的未来使用进行评估也是该项目的一个主要目标。 ***
