Descripción
We perform an analysis of the diffuse low-frequency Galactic components
in the southern part of the Gould Belt system (130° ≤ l ≤
230° and -50° ≤ b ≤ -10°). Strong ultra-violet flux
coming from the Gould Belt super-association is responsible for bright
diffuse foregrounds that we observe from our position inside the system
and that can help us improve our knowledge of the Galactic emission.
Free-free emission and anomalous microwave emission (AME) are the
dominant components at low frequencies (ν < 40 GHz), while
synchrotron emission is very smooth and faint. We separated diffuse
free-free emission and AME from synchrotron emission and thermal dust
emission by using Planck data, complemented by ancillary data, using the
correlated component analysis (CCA) component-separation method and we
compared our results with the results of cross-correlation of foreground
templates with the frequency maps. We estimated the electron temperature
Te from Hα and free-free emission using two methods
(temperature-temperature plot and cross-correlation) and obtained
Te ranging from 3100 to 5200K for an effective fraction of
absorbing dust along the line of sight of 30% (fd = 0.3). We
estimated the frequency spectrum of the diffuse AME and recovered a peak
frequency (in flux density units) of 25.5 ± 1.5 GHz. We verified
the reliability of this result with realistic simulations that include
biases in the spectral model for the AME and in the free-free template.
By combining physical models for vibrational and rotational dust
emission and adding the constraints from the thermal dust spectrum from
Planck and IRAS, we are able to present a good description of the AME
frequency spectrum for plausible values of the local density and
radiation field.
