A new model of the microwave polarized sky for CMB experiments
  We present a new model of the microwave sky in polarization that can be used
to simulate data from CMB polarization experiments. We exploit the most recent
results from the Planck satellite to provide an accurate description of the
diffuse polarized foreground synchrotron and thermal dust emission. Our model
can include the two mentioned foregrounds, and also a constructed template of
Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME). Several options for the frequency
dependence of the foregrounds can be easily selected, to reflect our
uncertainties and to test the impact of different assumptions. Small angular
scale features can be added to the foreground templates to simulate
high-resolution observations. We present tests of the model outputs to show the
excellent agreement with Planck and WMAP data. We determine the range within
which the foreground spectral indices can be varied to be consistent with the
current data. We also show forecasts for a high-sensitivity, high-resolution
full-sky experiment such as the Cosmic ORigin Explorer (COrE). Our model is
released as a python script that is quick and easy to use, available at
