The C-Band All-Sky Survey (C-BASS): Total intensity point-source detection over the northern sky
R. D. P. Grumitt, Angela C. Taylor, Luke Jew +14
We present a point-source detection algorithm that employs the second order Spherical Mexican Hat wavelet filter (SMHW2), and use it on C-BASS northern intensity data to produce a…
The C-Band All-Sky Survey (C-BASS): Simulated parametric fitting in single pixels in total intensity and polarization
Luke Jew, Angela C. Taylor, Michael E. Jones +14
The cosmic microwave background -mode signal is potentially weaker than the diffuse Galactic foregrounds over most of the sky at any frequency. A common method of separating the…
The spectral index of polarized diffuse Galactic emission between 30 and 44 GHz
Luke Jew, Richard Grumitt
We present an estimate of the polarized spectral index between the Planck 30 and 44 GHz surveys in pixels across the entire sky. We use an objective reference prior tha…
The C-Band All-Sky Survey (C-BASS): Constraining diffuse Galactic radio emission in the North Celestial Pole region
C. Dickinson, A. Barr, H. C. Chiang +17
The C-Band All-Sky Survey C-BASS is a high-sensitivity all-sky radio survey at an angular resolution of 45 arcmin and a frequency of 4.7 GHz. We present a total intensity 4.7 GHz m…
The C-Band All-Sky Survey (C-BASS): Design and capabilities
Michael E. Jones, Angela C. Taylor, Moumita Aich +23
The C-Band All-Sky Survey (C-BASS) is an all-sky full-polarisation survey at a frequency of 5 GHz, designed to provide complementary data to the all-sky surveys of WMAP and Planck,…
The State-of-Play of Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) Research
Clive Dickinson, Y. Ali-Haïmoud, A. Barr +30
Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) is a component of diffuse Galactic radiation observed at frequencies in the range -60 GHz. AME was first detected in 1996 and recogni…
