Description

In this talk I will give an overview of the status and recent results of QUIJOTE, a CMB polarization experiment working in the frequency range 10-40 GHz from the Teide Observatory (Tenerife, Spain). The QUIJOTE MFI instrument produced maps covering the full northern hemisphere at 11, 13, 17 and 19 GHz that were publicly released in 2023. I will highlight the scientific results coming out of these maps, addressing the measurement of the synchrotron spectrum in polarisation, the determination of the level of polarisation of the AME, and the study of the correlations of the AME with dust emission and with different environmental parameters. I will also briefly comment on the status of new QUIJOTE instrumentation at 10-20, 30 and 40 GHz, and of other CMB experiments operative (or to become operative) from the Teide Observatory (GroundBIRD, LSPE/Strip, TMS).
