Zusammenfassung: | We extend the dust-filament-based model presented in Herv\'ias-Caimapo &
Huffenberger 2022 to produce parity-violating foreground spectra by
manipulating the filament orientations relative to the magnetic field. We
calibrate our model to observations of the misalignment angle using
cross-correlations of Planck and HI 21-cm line data, producing a fiducial model
that predicts a $\mathcal{D}_{\ell}^{EB}\sim$few $\mu$K$^2$ dust signal at 353
GHz and where $\sim 56$% of filaments have a positive misalignment angle. The
main purpose of this model is to be used as dust with non-zero parity-violating
emission in forecasting a measurement of cosmic birefringence by upcoming
experiments. Here, we also use our fiducial model to assess the impact of dust
in measurements of the isotropic cosmic birefringence angle $\beta$ with Planck
data by measuring the misalignment angle as a function of scale, as well as
directly using our model's $\mathcal{D}_{\ell}^{EB}$ prediction as a template.
In both cases, we measure $\beta$ to be consistent within $0.83\sigma$ of the
equivalent measurements with Planck data and its derivatives. |
