Scientific paper

Thermal emission from interstellar dust is a potential contaminant for sensitive measurements of Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies. Here we analyze the mm-wave observations obtained by the BOOMERanG experiment at 90, 150, 240 and 410 GHz. Galactic emission has been detected at intermediate and high (b < -20°) Galactic latitudes, and is morphologically similar to the dust emission mapped by the IRAS satellite at 3000 GHz and by the DIRBE instrument on COBE at 1250 GHz. We show that the 410 GHz channel of BOOMERanG is a good monitor of dust emission, and that at 150 GHz the contamination is negligible with respect to the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) detected by the same instrument.
