Extended radio continuum emission and its linear polarization play a key role in probing large-scale structures of synchrotron and free-free emission in the Milky Way. Despite the existence of many radio continuum surveys, sensitive and…

We present multi-frequency maps of a portion of the Galactic Plane centered on a declination of -60 degrees with resolutions ranging from 0.2 to 0.9 degrees. The maps are optimized to detect unresolved source emission and are…

The purpose of this work is to characterize the diffuse Galactic polarized synchrotron, which is the dominant CMB foreground emission at low frequency. We present EE, BB, and EB power spectra estimated from polarization frequency maps at 23…

The redshifted 21cm line of neutral hydrogen (Hi), potentially observable at low radio frequencies (~50-200 MHz), is a promising probe of the physical conditions of the inter-galactic medium during Cosmic Dawn and the Epoch of Reionisation…

Since synchrotron polarization fluctuations are related to the fundamental properties of the magnetic field, we propose the polarization intensity variance to measure the Galactic interstellar medium (ISM) magnetization. We confirm the…

Radio recombination lines (RRLs) can be used to determine the emission measure unambiguously along the Galactic plane. We use the deep (2100s per beam) HI Parkes Zone of Avoidance survey which includes 3 RRLs (H$166\alpha$, H$167\alpha$ and…

Building the radio sky template are crucial for detecting the 21 cm emission line signal from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), as well as for other cosmological research endeavors. Utilizing data from the LOFAR Two-meter Sky Survey (LoTSS)…
