We use a simple model to investigate the effect of polarized Galactic foreground emission on the ability of planned CMB missions to detect and model CMB polarization. Emission from likely polarized sources (synchrotron and spinning dust)…

Faraday tomography allows us to map diffuse polarized synchrotron emission from our Galaxy and use it to interpret the magnetic field in the interstellar medium (ISM). We have applied Faraday tomography to 60 observations from the LOFAR…

The QUIJOTE Experiment was developed to study the polarization in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) over the frequency range of 10-50 GHz. Its first instrument, the Multi Frequency Instrument (MFI), measures in the range 10-20 GHz which…

We probed for Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) for the three potential Galactic Emission Mapping Experiment (GEM) sites at Portugal using custom made omnidirectional disconic antennas. For the installation of a 10-meter dish dedicated to…

Detecting B-mode polarization anisotropies on large angular scales in the CMB polarization pattern is one of the major challenges in modern observational cosmology since it would give us an important evidence in favor of the inflationary…

The C-Band All-Sky Survey (C-BASS) is a project to map the full sky in total intensity and linear polarization at 5 GHz. The northern component of the survey uses a broadband single-frequency analogue receiver fitted to a 6.1-m telescope at…
