摘要
We derive the angular power spectra of intensity and polarization of Galactic synchrotron emission in the range 36 less than or equal to l less than or similar to 10(3) from the Parkes survey mapping the southern Galactic plane at 2.4 GHz. The polarization spectra of both electric and magnetic parity up to l similar or equal to 10(3) are approximated very well by power laws with slope coefficients similar or equal to 1.4, quite different from the CMB spectra. We show that no problem should arise from Galactic synchrotron for measurements of CMB polarization in the cosmological window. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
