Quantification of the performance of LFI is summarized in Table 1 below. All the details can be found in the LFI data processing paper Planck-2015-A03[1].

Systematic effects uncertainty in Stokes U f [μKCMB] 0.95 1.29 2.22

a Determined by fitting Jupiter observations directly in the timelines.

b Calculated from the main beam solid angle of the effective beam, Ωeff = mean(Ω). These values are used in the source extraction pipeline (Planck-2015-A35[2]).

c White noise per pixel computed from half-ring difference maps. These values are within 1% of the white noise sensitivity computed directly on the timelines, taking into account the actual integration time represented in the maps.

d Values derived from fitting noise spectra.

e Sum of the error on the estimation of the calibration constant (0.25 %) and the square root of the squared sum of the following errors: beam uncertainty; sidelobe convolution effect; and unknown systematics as measured from the power spectrum at 50 < ℓ < 250, see Planck-2015-A05[3].

f Peak-to-peak difference between 99% and 1% quantities in the pixel value distributions from simulated maps, see Planck-2015-A03[1].
