Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) was first discovered in the 90s as a dust-correlated excess in the microwave range of frequencies, thought to originate from rapidly spinning dust grains. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are believed to be at least partly responsible for the emission however, silicate and iron dust grains are also possible emitters. AME is an important foreground to CMB observations. Therefore, a more complete understanding is required in order to remove AME from these observations. In this research project multi-frequency data ranging from radio to IR is analysed to look for AME in sources on and near the Galactic Plane. This work is expected to contribute to a clearer picture of the distribution and nature of Galactic AME emitters.
