12 Mar 2004 | | Journal: | Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 351 (2004) 436 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Abstract: | We build template maps for the polarized Galactic--synchrotron emission on large angular scales (FWHM =~7$^circ$), in the 20-90 GHz microwave range, by using WMAP data. The method, presented in a recent work, requires a synchrotron total intensity survey and the {it polarization horizon} to model the polarized intensity and a starlight polarization map to model polarization angles. The basic template is obtained directly at 23 GHz with about 94% sky--coverage by using the synchrotron map released by the WMAP team. Extrapolations to 32, 60 and 90 GHz are performed by computing a synchrotron spectral index map, which strongly reduces previous uncertainties in passing from low (1.4 GHz) to microwave frequencies. Differing from low frequency data, none of our templates presents relevant structures out of the Galactic Plane. Our map at 90 GHz suggests that the synchrotron emission at high Galactic latitudes is low enough to allow a robust detection of the $E$--mode component of the cosmological signal on large--scale, even in models with low--reionization ($ au = 0.05$). Detection of the weaker $B$--mode on the largest scales ($ell < 10$) might be jeopardized unless the value $ au = 0.17$ found by WMAP is confirmed, and $T/S > 0.1$. For lower levels of the gravitational--wave background the $B$--mode seems to be accessible only at the $ell sim 100$ peak and in selected low--synchrotron emission areas. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0403308 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
