Galactic Foregrounds in OVRO and UCSB South Pole 1994 Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy Data
Preprint
- 4 July 2002
Abstract
We study Galactic emission foreground contamination of the OVRO and UCSB South Pole 1994 cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy data by cross-correlating with templates of infrared dust emission and new high resolution $H_{\alpha}$ data. $H_{\alpha}$ data provide rough upper limits on the level of free-free emission in the data sets. The cross-correlation analysis does not contradict a two component foreground emission hypothesis, with the two dust-correlated components being free-free emission and spinning dust emission.
