摘要:In the context of the new era of Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization (CMBP) experiments, it is
important to have reliable templates of the polarized foregrounds contaminating the CMBP. This is
specially true for the for the Planck Surveyor Mission (ESA, 2007) and for the near-future B-mode
polarization probes. The Galactic Emission Mapping collaboration aims to improve polarized foreground
templates by measuring the polarization state and Stokes components at low frequencies (5-10 GHz) of
the galactic synchrotron using two antennas covering each the North Hemisphere (Portugal site) and
another the South Hemisphere (Brazil site). Together, the joint coverage should produce a reliable
template of the synchrotron polarization state in 80% of the sky and provide a new tool for galactic
dynamics studies.
