Abstract
The
study of Galactic foregrounds has become entwined with the
analysis of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization.
On the one hand, CMB data provide new insights on the physics of the
magnetized interstellar medium (ISM), and on the other hand the
challenge of component separation binds the search for primordial
B-modes to Galactic astrophysics. Their detection is a paramount
objective of cosmology, but any claim will face a critical assessment
against alternative interpretations involving foregrounds.
I will present the current knowledge and research directions at this
interface between astrophysics and cosmology, where we seek to
characterize and model polarized foregrounds statistically to assess
and optimize component separation.
