First Results from Viper: Detection of Small-Scale Anisotropy at 40 GHZ
Results of a search for small-scale anisotropy in the cosmic microwave
background (CMB) are presented. Observations were made at the South Pole using
the Viper telescope, with a .26 degree (FWHM) beam and a passband centered at
40 GHz. Anisotropy band-power measurements in bands centered at l = 108, 173,
237, 263, 422 and 589 are reported. Statistically significant anisotropy is
detected in all bands.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, uses emulateapj.sty, submitted to ApJ Letter
