Abstract

Measurements of the Galactic synchrotron emission are important for the 21-cm studies of the epoch of reionization. The study of synchrotron emission is also useful for quantifying the fluctuations in the magnetic field and the cosmic-ray electron density of the turbulent interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy. Here, we present the all-sky angular power spectrum (Cā„“) measurements of the diffuse synchrotron emission obtained using the TIFR GMRT Sky Survey (TGSS) at 150 MHz.
