Planck 2013 results. XXXII. The updated Planck catalogue of Sunyaev-Zeldovich sources

Julien Lesgourgues, Xin Chen, Fabio Finelli

We update the all-sky Planck catalogue of 1227 clusters and cluster candidates (PSZ1) published in March 2013, derived from detections of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect using the first 15.5 months of Planck satellite observations. As an addendum, we del ...

Planck 2013 results. VIII. HFI photometric calibration and mapmaking

Julien Lesgourgues, Xin Chen, Fabio Finelli

This paper describes the methods used to produce photometrically calibrated maps from the Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) cleaned, time-ordered information. HFI observes the sky over a broad range of frequencies, from 100 to 857 GHz. To obtain the b ...

Planck 2013 results. XI. All-sky model of thermal dust emission

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

This paper presents an all-sky model of dust emission from the Planck 353, 545, and 857 GHz, and IRAS 100 mu m data. Using a modified blackbody fit to the data we present all-sky maps of the dust optical depth, temperature, and spectral index over the 353- ...

Neutrino cosmology and Planck

Julien Lesgourgues

Relic neutrinos play an important role in the evolution of the Universe, modifying some of the cosmological observables. We summarize the main aspects of cosmological neutrinos and describe how the precision of present cosmological data can be used to lear ...

Planck 2013 results. XIX. The integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect

Julien Lesgourgues, Slobodan Ilic, Fabio Finelli

Based on cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps from the 2013 Planck Mission data release, this paper presents the detection of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect, that is, the correlation between the CMB and large-scale evolving gravitational potenti ...

Planck 2013 results. XXXI. Consistency of the Planck data

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

The Planck design and scanning strategy provide many levels of redundancy that can be exploited to provide tests of internal consistency. One of the most important is the comparison of the 70 GHz (amplifier) and 100 GHz (bolometer) channels. Based on diffe ...

Zodiacal emission

Julien Lesgourgues, Xin Chen, Fabio Finelli

The Planck satellite provides a set of all-sky maps at nine frequencies from 30 GHz to 857 GHz. Planets, minor bodies, and di ff use interplanetary dust emission (IPD) are all observed. The IPD can be separated from Galactic and other emissions because Pla ...

LFI systematic uncertainties

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

We present the current estimate of instrumental and systematic effect uncertainties for the Planck-Low Frequency Instrument relevant to the first release of the Planck cosmological results. We give an overview of the main effects and of the tools and metho ...

Planck 2013 results. XXVI. Background geometry and topology of the Universe

Julien Lesgourgues, Jason Douglas McEwen, Fabio Finelli

The new cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps from Planck provide the highest-quality full-sky view of the surface of last scattering available to date. This allows us to detect possible departures from the standard model of a globally homogen ...

HFI energetic particle effects: characterization, removal, and simulation

Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

We describe the detection, interpretation, and removal of the signal resulting from interactions of high energy particles with the Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI). There are two types of interactions: heating of the 0.1 K bolometer plate; and glitch ...
