Foreground Contributions to 0.2-2 Degree CMB Anisotropies
Abstract
We examine the extent to which galactic and extragalactic foregrounds can hamper the detection of primordial Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies. We limit our discussion to intermediate angular scales, 10 θ 2, since many current as well as future experiments have been designed to map CMB anisotropies at these angular scales. In fact, scales of 10 are of crucial importance to test both the conditions in the early Universe and current theories of the gravitational collapse.
