The C-Band All-Sky survey (C-BASS)

Abstract:
The C-Band All-Sky survey (C-BASS) is an experiment to image the whole sky in intensity and polarization at 5 GHz. The primary aim of C-BASS is to provide low-frequency all-sky maps of the Galactic emission which will enable accurate component separation analysis of both existing and future CMB intensity and polarization imaging surveys. Here we present an overview of the experiment and an update on the current status of observations. We present simulation results showing the expected improvement in the recovery of CMB and foreground signals when including C-BASS data as an additional low-frequency channel, both for intensity and polarization. We also present preliminary results from the northern part of the sky survey.
