We present an analysis of the diffuse emission at 5 GHz in the first quadrant of the Galactic plane using two months of preliminary intensity data taken with the C-Band All Sky Survey (C-BASS) northern instrument at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory, California. Combining C-BASS maps with ancillary data to make temperature-temperature plots we find synchrotron spectral indices of $beta = -2.65 pm 0.05$ between 0.408 GHz and 5 GHz and $ beta = -2.72 pm 0.09$ between 1.420 GHz and 5 GHz for $-10^{circ} < |b| < -4^{circ}$, $20^{circ} < l < 40^{circ}$. Through the subtraction of a radio recombination line (RRL) free-free template we determine the synchrotron spectral index in the Galactic plane ($ |b| < 4^{circ}$) to be $beta = -2.56 pm 0.07$ between 0.408 GHz and 5 GHz, with a contribution of $53 pm 8$ per cent from free-free emission at 5,GHz. These results are consistent with previous low frequency measurements in the Galactic plane. By including C-BASS data in spectral fits we demonstrate the presence of anomalous microwave emission (AME) associated with the HII complexes W43, W44 and W47 near 30 GHz, at 4.4 sigma, 3.1 sigma and 2.5 sigma respectively. The CORNISH VLA 5 GHz source catalogue rules out the possibility that the excess emission detected around 30;GHz may be due to ultra-compact HII regions. Diffuse AME was also identified at a 4 sigma level within $30^{circ} < l < 40^{circ}$, $-2^{circ} < b < 2^{circ}$ between 5 GHz and 22.8 GHz.

The C-Band All-Sky Survey (C-BASS) is an experiment to image the whole sky in intensity and polarization at 5 GHz. The primary aim of C-BASS is to provide low-frequency all-sky maps of the Galactic emission which will enable accurate component separa
tion analysis of both existing and future CMB intensity and polarization imaging surveys. Here we present an overview of the experiment and an update on the current status of observations. We present simulation results showing the expected improvement in the recovery of CMB and foreground signals when including C-BASS data as an additional low-frequency channel, both for intensity and polarization. We also present preliminary results from the northern part of the sky survey.
The C-Band All-Sky Survey (C-BASS) is an all-sky full-polarization survey at a frequency of 5 GHz, designed to provide data complementary to the all-sky surveys of WMAP and Planck and future CMB B-mode polarization imaging surveys. We describe the de
sign and performance of the digital backend used for the northern part of the survey. In particular we describe the features that efficiently implement the demodulation and filtering required to suppress contaminating signals in the time-ordered data, and the capability for real-time correction of detector non-linearity and receiver balance.
We present a point-source detection algorithm that employs the second order Spherical Mexican Hat wavelet filter (SMHW2), and use it on C-BASS northern intensity data to produce a catalogue of point-sources. This catalogue allows us to cross-check th
e C-BASS flux-density scale against existing source surveys, and provides the basis for a source mask which will be used in subsequent C-BASS and cosmic microwave background (CMB) analyses. The SMHW2 allows us to filter the entire sky at once, avoiding complications from edge effects arising when filtering small sky patches. The algorithm is validated against a set of Monte Carlo simulations, consisting of diffuse emission, instrumental noise, and various point-source populations. The simulated source populations are successfully recovered. The SMHW2 detection algorithm is used to produce a $4.76,mathrm{GHz}$ northern sky source catalogue in total intensity, containing 1784 sources and covering declinations $deltageq-10^{circ}$. The C-BASS catalogue is matched with the Green Bank 6,cm (GB6) and Parkes-MIT-NRAO (PMN) catalogues over their areas of common sky coverage. From this we estimate the $90$ per cent completeness level to be approximately $610,mathrm{mJy}$, with a corresponding reliability of $98$ per cent, when masking the brightest $30$ per cent of the diffuse emission in the C-BASS northern sky map. We find the C-BASS and GB6 flux-density scales to be consistent with one another to within approximately $4$ per cent.
The C-Band All-Sky Survey C-BASS is a high-sensitivity all-sky radio survey at an angular resolution of 45 arcmin and a frequency of 4.7 GHz. We present a total intensity 4.7 GHz map of the North Celestial Pole (NCP) region of sky, above declination
+80 deg, which is limited by source confusion at a level of ~0.6 mK rms. We apply the template-fitting (cross-correlation) technique to WMAP and Planck data, using the C-BASS map as the synchrotron template, to investigate the contribution of diffuse foreground emission at frequencies ~20-40 GHz. We quantify the anomalous microwave emission (AME) that is correlated with far-infrared dust emission. The AME amplitude does not change significantly (<10%) when using the higher frequency C-BASS 4.7 GHz template instead of the traditional Haslam 408 MHz map as a tracer of synchrotron radiation. We measure template coefficients of $9.93pm0.35$ and $9.52pm0.34$ K per unit $tau_{353}$ when using the Haslam and C-BASS synchrotron templates, respectively. The AME contributes $55pm2,mu$K rms at 22.8 GHz and accounts for ~60% of the total foreground emission. Our results suggest that a harder (flatter spectrum) component of synchrotron emission is not dominant at frequencies >5 GHz; the best-fitting synchrotron temperature spectral index is $beta=-2.91pm0.04$ from 4.7 to 22.8 GHz and $beta=-2.85pm0.14$ from 22.8 to 44.1 GHz. Free-free emission is weak, contributing ~$7,mu$K rms (~7%) at 22.8 GHz. The best explanation for the AME is still electric dipole emission from small spinning dust grains.
The C-Band All-Sky Survey (C-BASS) is a project to map the full sky in total intensity and linear polarization at 5 GHz. The northern component of the survey uses a broadband single-frequency analogue receiver fitted to a 6.1-m telescope at the Owens
Valley Radio Observatory in California, USA. The receiver architecture combines a continuous-comparison radiometer and a correlation polarimeter in a single receiver for stable simultaneous measurement of both total intensity and linear polarization, using custom-designed analogue receiver components. The continuous-comparison radiometer measures the temperature difference between the sky and temperature-stabilized cold electrical reference loads. A cryogenic front-end is used to minimize receiver noise, with a system temperature of $approx 30,$K in both linear polarization and total intensity. Custom cryogenic notch filters are used to counteract man-made radio frequency interference. The radiometer $1/f$ noise is dominated by atmospheric fluctuations, while the polarimeter achieves a $1/f$ noise knee frequency of 10 mHz, similar to the telescope azimuthal scan frequency.
