The untilted diffuse matter Bianchi V Universe

A diffuse matter filled Type V Universe is studied. The anisotropic behaviour, the distortion caused to the CMBR and the parameter region allowed by present cosmological bounds are examined. It is shown how the overall sky pattern of temperature anisotropies changes under a non-infinitesimal spatial coordinate transformation that preserves the Type V manifest homogeneity.Comment: (RevTeX) 23 pages, 2 figures, to appear in Physics Letters
