COMMENT This file contains the synchrotron spectral index in intensity as
COMMENT computed by Weiland et al. 2025 from Haslam 408 MHz and the
COMMENT synchrotron component maps at 23 and 30 GHz derived using the ADR
COMMENT method. Statistical uncertainties are provided as a map; potential
COMMENT systematic uncertainties dervied from simulations are discussed in
COMMENT the paper. The analysis mask (diffuse and sources) is included in the
COMMENT third field (0=reject, 1=accept).
