SUMMARY:The anomalous microwave emission in our Galaxy
DESCRIPTION:The anomalous microwave emission in our Galaxy\nDr. Ricardo Gen
 ova-Santos, Mr. Carlos Lopez Caraballo\n\nThe anomalous microwave emission
  (AME)  is an additional diffuse foreground component, originated by an em
 ission  mechanism in the ISM different from the well-known synchrotron,  f
 ree-free and thermal dust emissions. It was first discovered at the end  o
 f the nineties as a correlated signal between microwave CMB maps and  infr
 ared maps tracing the dust emission. Ever since several detections  have b
 een found in individual clouds in our Galaxy. This emission is an  importa
 nt contaminant for current and future CMB experiments, and  therefore its 
 characterization (both in temperature and in  polarization) and understand
 ing is mandatory. So far different  theoretical models have been proposed 
 to explain the physical mechanism  that give rise to this emission. In thi
 s talk we will review these  models and will present the current observati
 onal status of the AME,  with particular emphasis on some recent studies t
 hat have been performed  by our group in the IAC in the Perseus molecular 
 complex and in the  Pleiades reflection nebula.
