Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi Wesley Masui | First 5 Authors: Yu-Wei Liao, Tzu-Ching Chang, Cheng-Yu Kuo, Kiyoshi Wesley Masui, Niels Oppermann | Summary: Polarization leakage of foreground synchrotron emission is a critical issue in HI intensity mapping experiments. While the sought-after HI emission is unpolarized, polarized foregrounds such as Galactic and extragalactic synchrotron radiation, if coupled […]

Kavli Affiliate: Grzegorz M. Madejski | First 5 Authors: Ryosuke Itoh, Krzysztof Nalewajko, Yasushi Fukazawa, Makoto Uemura, Yasuyuki T. Tanaka | Summary: Blazars are highly variable active galactic nuclei which emit radiation at all wavelengths from radio to gamma-rays. Polarized radiation from blazars is one key piece of evidence for synchrotron radiation at low energies […]
