The Doppler shift due to WMAP's spin mimics anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background
Keith S Cover
TL;DR
This paper discusses how the Doppler shift caused by WMAP's spin can imitate anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background, highlighting potential observational confusions.
Contribution
It introduces the idea that WMAP's spin-induced Doppler shift can mimic CMB anisotropies, emphasizing the need for careful analysis.
Findings
Doppler shift from WMAP's spin can produce anisotropy signals
This effect can be mistaken for genuine CMB anisotropies
The concept has been integrated into subsequent research
Abstract
This paper has been withdrawn because its ideas have been incorporated into arXiv:0905.3971 and explained much better there.
