Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy inCOBEDMR‐normalized Open and Flat‐Λ Cold Dark Matter Cosmogonies

We compute the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy in a low-density, flat, cosmological constant, cold dark matter model which is normalized to the two-year COBE DMR sky map. Although conclusions regarding model viability must remain tentative until systematic effects are better understood, there are mild indications that these models have more intermediate scale power than is indicated by presently available CMB anisotropy observational data, with old (t_0 \≥ 15-16Gyr), high baryon density (\Ω_B \≥ 0.0175 h⁻²), low density (\Ω_0 \~ 0.2-0.4) models doing the worst.
