Research Abstract |
We have devoted our research activities to developing high accuracy component separation scheme which is able to separate cosmic microwave background radiation signal and foreground emission components signals originated from interstellar matter in our Galaxy from observed polarization data in microwave bands. We have completed a new original component separation scheme based on hierarchical bayesian methods. We have also performed studies which lead to deepening of our physical understandings of polarization microwave emission from the Galactic interstellar matter. One of these is all sky far infrared diffuse light map making from the all sky survey data obtained by the Japanese infrared satellite " AKARI". The PC cluster machine bought by this financial support has played crucial role to complete the first version of the "AKARI" far infrared all sky maps within the research period of this budget.
