Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We estimate the level of confusion of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy measurements caused by extragalactic infrared sources. CMB anisotropy observations at high resolution and high frequencies are especially sensitive to this foreground. We have combined IRAS data on bright infrared galaxies with information about the Galaxy from the DIRBE and FIR...
متن کاملEvidence for a Significant Blazar Contamination in CMB Anisotropy Maps
The analysis of the recent WMAP source catalog shows that the vast majority of bright foreground extragalactic sources detected in CMB maps are Blazars. In this paper we calculate the contamination of CMB anisotropy maps by this type of flat-spectrum, strongly variable and polarized extragalactic radio sources using upto-date results from recent deep multi-frequency surveys. From a careful arch...
متن کاملImpact of Foregrounds on Cosmic Microwave Background Maps
We discuss the possible impact of astrophysical foregrounds on three recent exciting results of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments: the WMAP measurements of the temperature-polarization (TE) correlation power spectrum, the detection of CMB polarization fluctuations on degree scales by the DASI experiment, and the excess power on arcminute scales reported by the CBI and BIMA groups. A...
متن کاملFirst Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Foreground Emission
The WMAP mission has mapped the full sky to determine the geometry, content, and evolution of the universe. Full sky maps are made in five microwave frequency bands to separate the temperature anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) from foreground emission, including diffuse Galactic emission and Galactic and extragalactic point sources. We define masks that excise regions of high ...
متن کاملTrade - off between angular resolution and straylight contamination in CMB anisotropy experiments
Satellite CMB anisotropy missions, such as WMAP and Planck, and also the new generation of balloon-borne and ground experiments, make use of complex multi-frequency instruments at the focus of a meter class telescope to allow the joint study of CMB and foreground anisotropies, necessary for a high quality component separation. Between ∼ 70 GHz and ∼ 300 GHz, where foreground contamination is mi...
