Description
We examine the extent to which galactic and extragalactic foregrounds
can hamper the detection of primordial Cosmic Microwave background (CMB)
anisotropies. We limit our discussion to intermediate angular scales,
10'< theta < 2 deg, since many current as well as future
experiments have been designed to map CMB anisotropies at these angular
scales. In fact, scales of > 10' are of crucial importance to test
both the conditions in the early Universe and current theories of the
gravitational collapse.
