The C-Band All-Sky Survey (C-BASS) is a project that aims to produce sensitive, all-sky maps of Galactic synchrotron emission at 5 GHz in total intensity and linear polarization. These measurements will be used primarily in the subtraction of foregrounds from measurements of the polarized Cosmic Microwave Background. Secondary scientific goals include studying the nature of the Galactic magnetic field, constraining the Galactic cosmic ray energy spectrum, and constraining the so-called "anomalous" microwave emission. Measurements will be performed using a 6 m dish at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) in California, and a 7 m dish in the new Radio Astronomy Park near Carnarvon, South Africa. Northern hemisphere observations have begun and the Southern instrument is at an advanced stage of construction. We discuss the progress of the survey observations, present a preview of the Northern hemisphere data, and discuss the performance of the instrument.
The C-BASS project is a collaboration between Caltech/JPL in the US, Oxford and Manchester Universities in the UK, and Rhodes University and the Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory in South Africa. It is funded by the NSF (AST-0607857) and the participating institutions.
