The C-Band All-Sky Survey (C-BASS) aims to produce sensitive, all-sky maps of diffuse Galactic emission at 5 GHz in total intensity and linear polarization. These maps will be used (with other surveys) to separate the several astrophysical components contributing to microwave emission, and in particular will allow an accurate map of synchrotron emission to be produced for the subtraction of foregrounds from measurements of the polarized Cosmic Microwave Background. We describe the design of the analog instrument, the optics of our 6.1 m dish at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory, the status of observations, and first-look data.

  1. A comparison between Galactic magnetic field models and polarized synchrotron emission with C-BASS at 4.76 GHz and S-PASS at 2.3 GHz

    Comparison of Galactic magnetic field models to polarized synchrotron observations shows good agreement on angles but poor match on intensity, indicating local foreground structures must be incorporated.
