Polarized Foreground from Thermal Dust Emission
Abstract
Description
In this review, we intend to present the current knowledge of the polarized emission from thermal dust in our Galaxy. We show different methods to estimate the spatial distribution statistics of this emission in the lack of any data from the diffuse ISM, and compare it to the expected CMB polarized signal. We finally show how this contaminant could be efficiently removed from CMB maps using multi-frequency observations.
