Cosmological constraints from Microwave Background Anisotropy and Polarization

Abstract

The recent high-quality measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies have presented cosmologists with the possibility of studying the large scale properties of our universe with unprecedented precision. Here I review the current status of observations and constraints on theoretical models.
