Diffuse Galactic Emission from Spinning Dust Grains

Astrophysics 2011-02-07 v2

Abstract

Spinning interstellar dust grains produce detectable rotational emission in the 10-100 GHz frequency range. We calculate the emission spectrum, and show that this emission can account for the ``anomalous'' Galactic background component which correlates with 100um thermal emission from dust. Implications for cosmic background studies are discussed.
