Synchrotron Polarization at High Galactic Latitude
We present preliminary results from mapping the high-latitude Galactic polarization with the Effelsberg Telescope at λ21 cm. Structures on the resulting maps are mostly on the scale of several degrees. The results show detection of polarization over most of the field, at the level of tens of percent of the synchrotron emission. The evidence of more structure in Stokes Q and U rather than in √ Q...
متن کاملDiscovery of an Isolated Compact Object at High Galactic Latitude
We report discovery of Calvera, a compact object at high Galactic latitude. We initially identified Calvera as a ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalog X-ray source, 1RXS J141256.0+792204, statistically likely to possess a high X-ray to optical flux ratio. Further observations using Swift, GeminiNorth, and the Chandra X-ray Observatory refined the source position and confirmed the absence o...
متن کاملPolarization angular spectra of Galactic synchrotron emission on arcminute scales
We study the angular power spectra of the polarized component of the Galactic synchrotron emission in the 28–deg Test Region of the Southern Galactic Plane Survey at 1.4 GHz. These data were obtained by the Australia Telescope Compact Array and allow us to investigate angular power spectra down to arcminute scales. We find that, at this frequency, the polarization spectra for E– and B–modes see...
متن کاملGalactic dust polarized emission at high latitudes and CMB polarization
With recent instrumental advances, it might become possible to measure the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), e.g. by future space missions like MAP and Planck Surveyor. In this paper, we estimate the dust polarized emission in our galaxy which is the major foreground to cope with for measuring the CMB polarization in the Wien part of CMB spectrum. We model the dust polarize...
متن کاملExtended Red Emission in High-Galactic Latitude Interstellar Clouds
Nearby interstellar clouds at high Galactic latitudes are ideal objects in which the interaction of interstellar dust with photons from the well-characterized interstellar radiation field can be studied. Scattering and UV-excited photoluminescence at optical wavelengths as well as thermal emission at midand far-infrared wavelengths are observable manifestations of such interactions. Here we rep...
