Components:

CMB (Planck 2015 cosmology), with lensing

SZ: thermal, kinetic, and relativistic corrections up to 4th order,
    includes IR contamination of SZ by sources

CIB: spirals, spheroids, starbursts, with matter shells

Galactic thermal dust: two modified blackbodies

Galactic synchrotron: template at 408 MHz from Remazeilles et al 2015, 
curved power-law with index from Miville-Deschenes et al 2008, 
and flattening curvature of C=0.3

Galactic free-free: power-law from Miville-Deschenes et al 2008

Galactic spinning dust (AME) from Draine & Lazarian 1998

IR and radio compact sources
