Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources[edit]

The first public version of the Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS)...

Planck Cluster Sample[edit]

The Planck SZ Cluster Catalogue is a nearly full-sky list of highly-reliable SZ clusters detected in the Planck data. It is fully described in [reference to the Planck Cosmology and Product Paper 05a]. The catalogue is derived from the HFI frequency channel maps after masking and filling the bright point sources (SNR >= 10) from the general PCCS catalogue in those channels. Three detection methods were used to construct the catalogue: two implementations of the Matched Multi-Filter (MMF) algorithm and PowellSnakes (PwS), a Bayesian algorithm. A Galactic dust mask (leaving 85% of the sky) and a point source mask is applied a posteriori to remove detections in the portion of the sky where foregrounds are likely to cause spurious detections.

The master catalogue contains the merger of the catalogues from the three detection methods. The individual catalogues are also provided for the expert user in order to assess the consistency of the methods. The completeness and reliability of the catalogues have been assessed through internal and external validation. The catalogue has a reliability of 85% (TBC).

Early Release Compact Source Catalogue[edit]

The ERCSC is a list of high reliability (>90%) sources, both Galactic and extragalactic, derived from the data acquired by Planck between August 13 2009 and June 6 2010. The ERCSC consists of:

  • nine lists of sources, extracted independently from each of Planck's nine frequency channels
  • two lists extracted using multi-channel criteria: the Early Cold Cores catalogue (ECC), consisting of Galactic dense and cold cores, selected mainly on the basis of their temperature ; and the Early Sunyaev-Zeldovich catalogue (ESZ), consisting of galaxy clusters selected by the spectral signature of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect.

The whole ERCSC can be downloaded here [1].

The ERCSC is also accessible via the NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive [2].
