QUIJOTE scientific results -- X. Spatial variations of Anomalous Microwave Emission along the Galactic plane

M. Fernández-Torreiro, J. A. Rubiño-Martín, C. H. López-Caraballo +21

Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) is an important emission component between 10 and 60 GHz that is not yet fully understood. It seems to be ubiquituous in our Galaxy and is observ…

QUIJOTE scientific results -- VI. The Haze as seen by QUIJOTE

F. Guidi, R. T. Génova-Santos, J. A. Rubiño-Martín +22

The Haze is an excess of microwave intensity emission surrounding the Galactic centre. It is spatially correlated with the -ray Fermi bubbles, and with the S-PASS radio polariza…

Fastcc: fast colour corrections for broadband radio telescope data

Mike W. Peel, Ricardo Genova-Santos, C. Dickinson +5

Broadband receiver data need colour corrections applying to correct for the different source spectra across their wide bandwidths. The full integration over a receiver bandpass may…
