Extragalactic Foregrounds of the Cosmic Microwave Background: Prospects for the<i>MAP</i>Mission
While the major contribution to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies are the sought-after primordial fluctuations produced at the surface of last scattering, other effects produce secondary fluctuations at lower redshifts. Here we study the extragalactic foregrounds of the CMB in the context of the upcoming Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP) …
