Summary

DescriptionWMAP 2008 33GHz foregrounds.png	"Three-color maps from the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) model for the 5 WMAP frequency bands. These maps indicate which emission mechanism dominates as a function of frequency and sky position. Synchrotron is red, free-free is green, and thermal dust is blue."
