Weighting CMB and Galactic synchrotron polarisation
نویسنده
چکیده
We review the present knowledge of the diffuse Galactic synchrotron emission in polarisation. At microwave frequencies, we assess the expected contamination to the CMB polarisation angular power spectrum, for E and B modes, as expected after the WMAP first year measurements.

Extracting cosmic microwave background polarisation from satellite astrophysical maps
We present the application of the Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA) technique for blind component separation to polarised astrophysical emission. We study how the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarised signal, consisting of E and B modes, can be extracted from maps affected by substantial contamination from diffuse Galactic foregrounds and instrumental noise. We perform the ana...

Galactic synchrotron emission is a potentially confusing foreground, both in total power and in polarization, to the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation. It also contains much physical information in its own right. This review examines the amplitude, angular power spectrum and frequency spectrum of the synchrotron emission as derived from the presently available de-striped maps. There are as ...

Synchrotron emission is an important process in Galactic dynamics and a potentially confusing foreground for cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation observations. Though the mechanism of synchrotron emission is well understood, the details for the Galaxy and many external sources is not well characterized. Quality maps at multiple frequencies are lacking but needed for a full understanding ...
متن کاملThe impact of Galactic synchrotron emission on CMB anisotropy measurements
Context. Galactic foreground emission fluctuations are a limiting factor for precise cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy measurements. Aims. We intend to improve current estimates of the influence of Galactic synchrotron emission on the analysis of CMB anisotropies. Methods. We perform an angular power spectrum analysis (APS) of all-sky total intensity maps at 408 MHz and 1420 MHz, whi...
متن کاملDetermining Foreground Contamination in CMB Observations: Diffuse Galactic Emission in the MAXIMA-I Field
Observations of the CMB can be contaminated by diffuse foreground emission from sources such as Galactic dust and synchrotron radiation. In these cases, the morphology of the contaminating source is known from observations at different frequencies, but not its amplitude at the frequency of interest for the CMB. We develop a technique for accounting for the effects of such emission in this case,...
