Abstract

It was proposed that the two phenomena, WMAP-Planck haze and Fermi bubbles, may have a common origin. In the present paper we analyze the spatial structure of the haze using the Planck 2018 data release. It is found that the spatial dimensions and locations of WMAP-Planck haze and Fermi bubbles are compatible within the experimental uncertainties. No substructures similar to the Fermi bubbles cocoon are identified in the Planck data. Comparison with the spatial extent of possible synchrotron emission caused by the electron-positron pair emitted by the Galactic center pulsar population and by the decay of dark matter particles in the Galactic center region are performed. Both galactic pulsars and dark matter decay remain viable explanations of the WMAP-Planck haze.
