It was found that the spectral resolution $\\Delta l$ for COBE could be more than doubled at $l=15$, thereby revealing previously unresolved features in the power spectrum. Whereas that paper was rather technical, the present paper shows that all qualitative features of this method can be understood from a simple analogy with quantum mechanics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1995-02-06T20:24:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "power spectrum", "estimating microwave power spectra", "cosmic microwave background", "quantum mechanics", "cobe data" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Wiley-Blackwell", "journal": "J.
