❖ Project baseline: • Site: Teide Observatory (altitude: 2400 m, latitude: 28º), Spain• Angular resolution: 1 degree• Sky coverage: 10,000 deg2
• Telescope and instruments:- Phase I: First Telescope (QT1), equipped with the Multifrequency Instrument (MFI) with 4 polarimeters @ 10-20 GHz (undergoing commissioning). Second Instrument (TGI) with 31 polarimeters @ 30 GHz (funded, starts operations in 2013). Polarized Source Subtractor (undergoing commissioning)- Phase II: Second Telescope (QT2), and FGI with 40 polarimeters @ 40 GHz (funded)- Phase III: instrument with 100 polarimeters @ 90 GHz (not funded)
❖ Time baseline: • Main science goal (r=0.1) by 2015, and r=0.05 by 2017• Possible extension of the observations for additional 4 years
❖ Science driver• To constrain (or to detect) primordial B-modes down to r=0.05• To measure and characterize polarized foregrounds (synchrotron and anomalous emissions) with high sensitivity at 10-20 GHz, allowing correction in future space missions aiming at r~0.001

AME in polarization
★ Probing the electric and magnetic dipole emission models:
• Electric and dipole emissions present different polarization spectra
• Magnetic dipole emission, in the case of single-domain grains (no Fe inclusions) is expected to be strongly polarized (up to ~30% for ν> 40 GHz; Draine & Lazarian 1999). However, magnetic inclusions produce lower polarizations (<10% at ν ~ 30 GHz; Draine & Hensley 2012)
• Electric dipole emission (spinning dust) is weakly polarized (under ~2% above 20 GHz; Lazarian & Draine 2000)
★ Forecasts of the level of contamination for B-mode experiments

AME polarization constraints 2
TABLE I: Summary of the current constraints on the fractional polarization (Π) of the AME both for individual Galacticobjects and for large-scale (diffuse) measurements. Columns 1 to 3 indicate the region, the experiment used for this particular
constraint and the angular resolution, respectively. The following four columns indicate the constraints on the fractionalpolarization, Π, separated according to the frequency band for an easier comparison. When quoting upper limits, the 2-σ
range is given. Last column provides the reference(s).
