Description
Beamswitch experiments located at Teide Observatory, Tenerife operate at
10, 15, 33 GHz. An area of ˜1 steradian has been covered at
angular scales from 5 to 20 degrees ( l=10-30 ) . Sensitivity is
˜10 μ K per beam area at 15 and 33 GHz and 26 μ K at 10 GHz
which gives a measure of the CMB fluctuation amplitude to 10 %. These
data have been used to provide a separation of the CMB and foregrounds.
The radio foregrounds above ˜10 GHz are contributed mainly by
free-free emission and by synchrotron below 10 GHz. A sensitive
estimate is made of the spinning dust contribution. These data are
combined with other CMB data and gravitational lens data to derive
estimates of Ω0 and Λ0.
