dc.descriptionWe cross-correlate the Saskatoon Q-Band data with different spatial template maps to quantify possible foreground contamination. We detect a correlation with the Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) 100 microm map, which we interpret as being due to Galactic free-free emission. Subtracting this foreground power reduces the Saskatoon normalization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) power spectrum by roughly 2%.
