Microwave Interstellar Medium Emission Observed by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe
Open accessAbstract
We investigate the nature of the diffuse Galactic emission in the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe ( WMAP ) temperature anisotropy data. Substantial dust-correlated emission is observed at all WMAP frequencies, far exceeding the expected thermal dust emission in the lowest frequency channels (23, 33, and 41 GHz). The WMAP team interprets this emission as dust-correlated synchrotron radiation, attributing the correlation to the natural association of relativistic electrons produced by supernovae (SNe) with massive star formation in dusty clouds, and deriving an upper limit of 5% on the contribution of Draine & Lazarian spinning dust to the K band (23 GHz). We pursue an alternative interpretation that much, perhaps most, of the dust-correlated emission at these frequencies is indeed spinning dust, and explore the spectral dependence on environment by considering a few specific objects as well as the full-sky average. Models similar to Draine & Lazarian spinning dust provide a good fit to the full-sky data. The full-sky fit also requires a significant component with a flat spectrum uncorrelated with Hα, possibly hot (~10 6 K) gas within 30° of the Galactic center.

In the citing paper
“It is found that the spectral index, β , (brightness temperature, Tb ∝ ν -β ) for the Loop-I is ≃ 3 (Finkbeiner 2004; Davies et al. 2006; Dobler & Finkbeiner 2008), indicating a CR electron index of p ≃ 3 at the high latitudes (following p = 2 β -3 for synchrotron emission).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
