The state-of-play of anomalous microwave emission (AME) research

C Dickinson, Y Ali-Haïmoud, A Barr, ES Battistelli… - New Astronomy …, 2018 - Elsevier
Abstract Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) is a component of diffuse Galactic radiation
observed at frequencies in the range≈ 10–60 GHz. AME was first detected in 1996 and …

LSST: from science drivers to reference design and anticipated data products

Ž Ivezić, SM Kahn, JA Tyson, B Abel… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Major advances in our understanding of the universe have historically arisen from dramatic
improvements in our ability to “see.” We have developed progressively larger telescopes …

Planck early results. XIX. All-sky temperature and dust optical depth from Planck and IRAS. Constraints on the “dark gas” in our Galaxy

PAR Ade, N Aghanim, M Arnaud, M Ashdown… - Astronomy & …, 2011 - aanda.org
An all sky map of the apparent temperature and optical depth of thermal dust emission is
constructed using the Planck-HFI (350μm to 2 mm) andIRAS (100μm) data. The optical …

The JCMT BISTRO survey: the magnetic field strength in the orion a filament

K Pattle, D Ward-Thompson, D Berry… - The Astrophysical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org

new implementation of the Chandrasekhar–Fermi method using observations performed as …

Planck early results. VIII. The all-sky early Sunyaev-Zeldovich cluster sample

PAR Ade, N Aghanim, M Arnaud, M Ashdown… - Astronomy & …, 2011 - aanda.org
We present the first all-sky sample of galaxy clusters detected blindly by the Planck satellite
