Abstract

Context.The full three-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe results (hereafter WMAP3) reinforce the absence of large-angle correlations at scales greater than . The Poincaré dodecahedral space model, which may naturally explain such features, thus remains a plausible cosmological model, despite recent controversy about whether matched circle searches would or would not push the topology beyond the horizon.
