The Galactic dust as a foreground to Cosmic Microwave Background maps

Astrophysics 2017-03-29 v1

Abstract

We present results obtained with the PRONAOS balloon-borne experiment on interstellar dust. In particular, the submillimeter / millimeter spectral index is found to vary between roughly 1 and 2.5 on small scales (3.5' resolution). This could have implications for component separation in Cosmic Microwave Background maps.
