The observed anisotropy of the CMB has an angular power spectrum that
is in excellent agreement with the predictions of the
CDM
model. But the CMB angular power spectrum is also consistent with
an Einstein-de Sitter model having
m = 1 and
a low value of H0
40 km s-1
Mpc-1. The observed lack of the expected correlation
between the CMB and LSS due to the late integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect in
CDM slightly
favors the
m = 1
"super Sandage" CDM model (sSCDM), which, like
CDM,
is also consistent with the shape of the matter
power spectrum P(k) and the baryon fraction in clusters of
galaxies. But sSCDM disagrees with the actual measurements of
H0 and with the supernova data for an accelerating
Universe. Thus,
CDM is the overall
best fit, but further efforts to confirm the CMB-LSS correlation should
be encouraged.
