We investigate the effect of vorticity perturbations of an arbitrary Robertson-Walker universe on the isotropy of the cosmic microwave background. The predicted temperature variations are compared with the upper limits recently found by Parijskij (1974). In this way we obtain an upper limit on the present vorticity scales L ~ 10 Mpc wich only marginally consistent with the value suggested by de Vaucoulerurs (1971), de Vaucouleurs and Peters (1968).

Abstract
We investigate the effect of vorticity perturbations of an arbitrary Robertson-Walker universe on the isotropy of the cosmic microwave background. The predicted temperature variations are compared with the upper limits recently found by Parijskij (1974). In this way we obtain an upper limit on the present vorticity scales L ~ 10 Mpc wich only marginally consistent with the value suggested by de Vaucoulerurs (1971), de Vaucouleurs and Peters (1968).File in questo prodotto:
