21 Goal of NASCO NASCO will provide the most comprehensive and detailed dataset of the morphology and velocity distribujon of the dense ISM within the Galaxy. The foreground GalacJc polarizajon can be derived from dust and ISM MHD models developed by Planck team. The resuljng GalacJc polarizajon model will be compared with the Planck polarizajon data. This process will produce the most accurate descripjon of the polarized CMB emission, and will reveal the morphological structure of the B- mode polarizajon. Detec'on of CMB B- mode polariza'on provide strong constraint from observa'ons to proposed infla'on models. Fig. SchemaJc image of the anisotropy in the CMB. ExtracJng the B- mode polarizajon induced by the primordial gravitajonal waves requires a precise separajon of complicajng processes.
