Description
Current observational constraints on anisotropies in the cosmic
microwave background (CMB) and on the clustering of galaxies have
considerably narrowed the range of acceptable models for galaxy
formation. Observations of these anisotropies on intermediate and large
angular scales provide the best constraint on the amplitude of very long
wavelength density fluctuations. Results from the Tenerife CMB
fluctuation experiment at intermediate angular scales (6 deg) are
presented which, taken together with recently reported upper limits to
fluctuations on small (arcmin) angular scales, constrain severely the
spectral index of initial fluctuations in baryon dominated model
universes. Constraints on adiabatic fluctuations in 'hot' and 'cold'
dark matter models are also briefly discussed.
