A space mission that mapped the temperature and polarization of the <cosmic microwave background>. Its nine-year analysis separates foreground emission from the microwave sky signal and fits cosmological models to the resulting maps. Combined-data fits additionally use other observations; they are not measurements from microwave maps alone.<Nine-Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Final Maps and Results by C. L. Bennett and others>[Version 1 abstract, maps, foreground separation and combined-data fits]{ref}
