Extract

High-resolution surveys of the galactic radio emission show detailed structure both near the galactic plane and at high galactic latitudes. Some of this structure is describable as ‘spurs’ while the rest comprises isolated features. We describe here measurements of the spectral index of the background radiation with a resolution of 3°.5. These measurements are aimed at a detailed understanding of the high-latitude synchrotron emission.
