Dust-correlated cm-wavelength continuum emission on translucent clouds ζ Oph and LDN 1780

M. Vidal, S. Casassus, C. Dickinson +17

The diffuse cm-wave IR-correlated signal, the "anomalous" CMB foreground, is thought to arise in the dust in cirrus clouds. We present Cosmic Background Imager (CBI) cm-wave data o…

The QUIET Instrument

QUIET Collaboration, C. Bischoff, A. Brizius +52

The Q/U Imaging ExperimenT (QUIET) is designed to measure polarization in the Cosmic Microwave Background, targeting the imprint of inflationary gravitational waves at large angula…

Anomalous Microwave Emission from the HII region RCW175

C. Dickinson, R. D. Davies, J. R. Allison +14

We present evidence for anomalous microwave emission in the RCW175 \hii region. Motivated by 33 GHz $13\arcmin$ resolution data from the Very Small Array (VSA), we observed RCW175…

CMB observations from the CBI and VSA: A comparison of coincident maps and parameter estimation methods

N. Rajguru, S. T. Myers, R. A. Battye +32

We present coincident observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) from the Very Small Array (VSA) and Cosmic Background Imager (CBI) telescopes. The consistency of the fu…

Spitzer characterisation of dust in an anomalous emission region: the Perseus cloud

C. T. Tibbs, N. Flagey, R. Paladini +12

Anomalous microwave emission is known to exist in the Perseus cloud. One of the most promising candidates to explain this excess of emission is electric dipole radiation from rapid…

IR-correlated 31 GHz radio emission from Orion East

C. Dickinson, S. Casassus, R. D. Davies +11

Lynds dark cloud LDN1622 represents one of the best examples of anomalous dust emission, possibly originating from small spinning dust grains. We present Cosmic Background Imager (…
