The current COMAP band-averaged 30 GHz map (top panel) covering the Galactic plane within 20° < < 40°. The color scale is linear and in units of brightness temperature (mK). Masked pixels are white. The bottom panel shows the coverage in terms of the local rms in the map. Westerhout complexes are indicated as orange rectangles, including the SNR W44. The other detected SNRs are indicated by purple squares. Contours are given for the Parkes 5 GHz Galactic plane survey at levels of 1, 1.5, and 2.0 MJy sr−1.
