COBE ‐DMR–normalized Open Cold Dark Matter Cosmogonies

Cut-sky orthogonal mode analyses of the COBE-DMR 53 and 90 GHz sky maps are used to determine the normalization of a variety of open cosmogonical models based on the cold dark matter scenario. To constrain the allowed cosmological parameter range for these open cosmogonies, the predictions of the DMR-normalized models are compared to various observational measures of cosmography and large-scale structure, viz., the age of the universe ; small-scale dynamical estimates of the clustered-mass density parameter constraints on the Hubble parameter h, the X-ray cluster baryonic-) 0
