Impact of the recently discovered extragalactic foreground on cosmological parameters
Facundo Toscano
A new unknown extragalactic foreground of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) has recently been detected. This signal shows a systematic decrease in CMB temperatures around nearby large spiral galaxies, pointing to an interaction with CMB photons up to several projected Mpc around these galaxies. We investigate to what extent this foreground may impact the CMB fluctuation map and the cosmological parameters.
