Abstract

Description

Recent cosmic microwave background measurements combined with recent supernovae limits and other observational data have ambushed Omega_lambda and Omega_m. These cosmological culprits are trapped in a small pocket of parameter space: Omega_lambda = 0.62 +/- 0.16 and Omega_m = 0.24 +/- 0.10. If this is correct then an unknown 2/3 of the Universe has been identified.
6 pages including 3 figures. For publication in "The Cosmic Microwave Background and the Planck Surveryor Mission", proceedings of the meeting held in Santander, Spain, June 22-26, 1998
