CMBPol Mission Concept Study: Foreground Science Knowledge and Prospects
A. A. Fraisse, J. -A. C. Brown, G. Dobler +10
We report on our knowledge of Galactic foregrounds, as well as on how a CMB satellite mission aiming at detecting a primordial B-mode signal (CMBPol) will contribute to improving i…
Simulating polarized Galactic synchrotron emission at all frequencies, the Hammurabi code
A. Waelkens, T. Jaffe, M. Reinecke +2
We present a publicly available code called Hammurabi for generating mock polarized observations of Galactic synchrotron emission for telescopes like LOFAR, SKA, Planck and WMAP, b…
Radio observational constraints on Galactic 3D-emission models
X. H. Sun, W. Reich, A. Waelkens +1
(Abridged) We constrain simulated all-sky maps in total intensity, linear polarization, and rotation measure (RM) by observations. We test a number of large-scale magnetic field co…
Large scale magnetic field of the Milky Way from WMAP3 data
Ronnie Jansson, Glennys R. Farrar, Andre Waelkens +1
We report on initial results from a project to constrain the large-scale and turbulent magnetic fields of the Milky Way galaxy, which eventually will incorporate all of the relevan…
The actual Rees--Sciama effect from the Local Universe
M. Maturi, K. Dolag, A. Waelkens +2
Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) have revealed an unexpected quadrupole-octopole alignment along a preferred axis pointing toward the Virgo cluster. We here in…
Camouflaged galactic CMB foregrounds: total and polarized contributions of the kinetic Sunyaev Zeldovich effect
A. Waelkens, M. Maturi, T. Ensslin
We consider the role of the galactic kinetic Sunyaev Zeldovich (SZ) effect as a CMB foreground. While the galactic thermal Sunyaev Zeldovich effect has previously been studied and…
