=== (2015) Second Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS2 and PCCS2E)===
  
 
The second Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS2) is a set of single-frequency source catalogues extracted from the Planck full-mission maps in intensity and polarization (LFI_SkyMap_0??_1024_R2.01_full.fits and HFI_SkyMap_???_2048_R2.00_full.fits). The catalogues have been constructed as described in  [[Compact_Source_catalogues#Planck_Catalogue_of_Compact_Sources|PCCS]] and in section 2 of {{PlanckPapers|planck2014-a35}}. The validation of the catalogues is described in section 3 of {{PlanckPapers|planck2014-a35}}.

The catalogue at 100 GHz and above has been divided into two sub-catalogues: the PCCS2, here the sources have been detected in regions of the sky where it is possible to estimate the reliability of the detections, either statistically or by using external catalogues; PCCS2, here the detected sources are located in regions of the sky where it is not possible to make an estimate of their reliability.

The catalogue at 100 GHz and above has been divided into two sub-catalogues: the PCCS2, in which the sources have been detected in regions of the sky where it is possible to estimate the reliability of the detections, either statistically or by using external catalogues; and PCCS2E, in which the detected sources are located in regions of the sky where it is not possible to make an estimate of their reliability.  
  
 
By definition, the reliability of the whole  PCCS2 is &ge; 80%, and a flag is available that allows the user to select a subsample of sources with a higher level of reliability (e.g., 90% or 95%).

The nine Planck full-mission frequency channel maps are used as input to the source detection pipelines. They contain 48 months of data for LFI channels and 29 months of data for HFI channels. Therefore the flux densities of sources obtained from the full-mission maps are the average of at least 8 observations for LFI channels or at least 4 observations for HFI channels. The relevant properties of the frequency maps and main parameters used to generate the catalogues are summarized in Tables 1 and 2.

Four different photometry methods have been used. For one of the methods, the native photometry from the Mexican hat wavelet detection algorithm, the analysis is performed on patches containing tangent plane projections of the map. For the other methods (aperture photometry, point spread function fitting, and Gaussian fitting), the analysis is performed directly on the full-sky maps.

The analysis in polarization has been performed in a non-blind fashion, looking at the position of the sources previously detected in intensity. As a result, polarization flux densities and polarization angles have been measured for hundreds of sources with a significance >99.99%. This high threshold in significance has been chosen to minimize the possibility of misinterpreting a peak of the polarized background as a source. This implies that, in general, most of the polarized sources are very bright, introducing an additional selection effect.

The ERCSC
 
  
−
The Plank Early Release Compact Source Catalogue was the first Planck product to be publicly released in Jan 2011. It was produced with a very rapid turnaround to facilitate follow-up observations with existing  cryogenic observatories such as Herschel. It contained a list of all high reliability sources, both Galactic and extragalactic, that were derived from the first all sky coverage by Planck. i.e., using observations obtained from 12 August 2009 to 6 June 2010. Thus the full sky was covered once, and ~60% of the sky was covered twice. The goals were to achieve a photometric accuracy of 30% and a positional accuracy  1/5 of the beam FWHM in the RMS sense.
+
The Catalogue of Compact Sources
  
−
The ERCSC consisted of nine source lists, one at each of the nine Planck frequency channels. The number of sources in the lists range from 705 at 30 GHz to 8988 at 857 GHz. No attempt was made to cross-match the sources from the different frequencies due to the wide range of spatial resolutions (33 arcmin at 30 GHz to 4.3 arcmin at 857 GHz) spanned by Planck. Furthermore, a list of ''Cold Cores'' of interstellar molecular clouds within the Galaxy and a list of galaxy clusters detected through the Sunyaev- Zel’dovich effect (SZ), were also provided. These consisted of candidate sources that were detected using multifrequency algorithms that use the distinct spectral signature of such sources. The Cold Cores catalogue contained 915 sources while the SZ cluster catalogue consisted of 189 sources
 
  
−
In order to generate the ERCSC,  four source detection algorithms were run as part of the ERCSC pipeline. A Monte-Carlo algorithm based on the injection and extraction of artificial sources into the Planck maps was implemented to select reliable sources among all extracted candidates such that the cumulative reliability of the catalogue is >90%. Reliability is defined as the fraction of sources in the catalog which have measured flux densities which are within 30% of their true flux density. There is no requirement on completeness for the ERCSC. As a result of the Monte-Carlo assessment of reliability of sources from the different techniques, an implementation of the PowellSnakes source extraction technique was used at the five frequencies between 30 and 143 GHz while the SExtractor technique was used between 217 and 857 GHz. The 10σ photometric flux density limit of the catalogue at $|b| > 30$ deg is 0.49, 1.0, 0.67, 0.5, 0.33, 0.28, 0.25, 0.47 and 0.82 Jy at each of the nine frequencies between 30 and 857GHz. Sources which are up to a factor of ~2 fainter than this limit, and which are present in "clean" regions of the Galaxy where the sky background due to emission from the interstellar medium is low, are included in the ERCSC if they meet the high reliability criterion.  The sensitivity of the ERCSC is shown in the figure below. The ERCSC sources have known associations to stars with dust shells, stellar cores, radio galaxies, blazars, infrared luminous galaxies and Galactic interstellar medium features. A significant fraction of unclassified sources are also present in the catalogs.
+
'''Product description'''
  
−
The multifrequency information from Planck allows some basic classification of the sources to be undertaken. In the Galactic plane, at frequencies below 100 GHz, the majority of the sources are dominated by synchrotron or free-free emission. At the higher frequencies, the sources are almost exclusively dominated by thermal dust emission. At high Galactic latitudes however, the synchrotron sources  dominate the source counts to 217 GHz with dusty sources being the primary source population at 353 GHz and higher. Recent attempts to classify a subset of the Planck 857 GHz sources at high latitudes based on cross-correlations with sources in other catalogs such as WISE and SDSS, found that almost half of them are associated with stars and low-redshift galaxies while a significant fraction (44%) might be interstellar medium features{{BibCite|Johnson2013}}.

Full details on the construction, contents and usage of the ERCSC, ECC and ESZ catalogues can be found in {{PlanckPapers|planck2011-1-10}}, {{PlanckPapers|planck2011-5-1a}}, {{PlanckPapers|planck2011-7-7b}}.
+
The PCCS is a set of nine single-frequencies lists of sources extracted from the Planck nominal mission data. By definition its reliability is > 80% and a special effort was made to use simple selection procedures in order to facilitate statistical analyses. With a common detection method for all the channels and the additional three photometries, spectral analysis can also be done safely. The deeper completeness levels and, as a consequence, the higher number of sources compared with its predecessor the ERCSC, will allow the extension of previous studies to more sources and to fainter flux densities. The PCCS is the natural evolution of the ERCSC, but both lack polarization and multi-frequency information. Future releases will take advantage of the full mission data and they will contain information on properties of sources not available in this release, such as polarization, multi-frequency and variability.

The figure shows the ERCSC flux density limits, quanitfied as the faintest ERCSC source at |b|<10 deg (dashed black line) and at |b|>30 deg (solid black line), compared to those of other wide area surveys ({{PlanckPapers|planck2011-1-10}}). Also shown are spectra of known sources of foreground emission as red lines. The ERCSC sensitivity is worse in the Galactic plane due to the strong contribution of ISM emission, especially at submillimeter wavelengths. At face value, the WMAP and Planck flux density limits appear to be comparable at the lowest frequencies, but the Planck ERCSC is much more complete as discussed in {{PlanckPapers|planck2011-1-10}}.

'''Inputs'''
  
−
The Planck SZ catalogue is constructed as described in [[Compact_Source_catalogues#Planck_Sunyaev-Zeldovich_catalogue|SZ catalogue]] and in sections 2 and 3 of {{PlanckPapers|planck2014-a36}}. Three pipelines are used to detect SZ clusters: two independent implementations of the Matched Multi-Filter (MMF1 and MMF3), and PowellSnakes (PwS). The main catalogue is constructed as the union of the catalogues from the three detection methods. The completeness and reliability of the catalogues have been assessed through internal and external validation as described in section 4 of {{PlanckPapers|planck2014-a36}}.
+
The data obtained from the Planck nominal mission between (2009 August 12 and 2010 November 27) have been processed into full-sky maps by the HFI and LFI Data Processing Centres (DPCs). A description of the processing can be found in {{PlanckPapers|planck2013-p02}} and {{PlanckPapers|planck2013-p03}}. The data consist of two complete sky surveys and 60% of the third survey. This implies that the flux densities of sources obtained from the nominal mission maps are the average of at least two observations. The nine Planck frequency channel maps are used as input to the source detection pipelines. The relevant properties of the frequency maps and main parameters used to generate the catalogues are summarized in Table 1.
  
−
The size of a detection is given in terms of the scale size, &theta;<sub>s</sub>, and the flux is given in terms of the total integrated Comptonization parameter, Y = Y<sub>5R500</sub>. The parameters of the GNFW profile assumed by the detection pipelines are written in the headers of the catalogues. For the sake of convenience, the conversion factor from Y to Y<sub>500</sub> is also provided in the header.
+
The input data used to generate this product are the following:
  
−
The union catalogue contains the coordinates of a detection, its signal-to-noise ratio, an estimate of Y and its uncertainty, together with a summary of the validation information, including external identification of a cluster and its redshift if they are available. The pipeline from which the information is taken is called the reference pipeline. If more than one pipeline makes the same detection, the information is taken from the the pipeline that makes the most significant detection. Where the redshift is known, we provide the SZ mass for the reference pipeline.
+

 +
* [[The RIMO | RIMO]]
 +
* [[Effective Beams | effective beams]]
  
−
The individual catalogues contain the coordinates and the signal-to-noise ratio of the detections, and information on the size and flux of the detections. The entries are cross-referenced to the detections in the union catalogue. The full information on the degeneracy between &theta;<sub>s</sub> and Y is included in the individual catalogues in the form of the two-dimensional probability distribution for each detection. It is computed on a well-sampled grid to produce a two-dimensional image for each detection. It is provided in this form so it can be combined with a model or external data to produce tighter constraints on the parameters. The individual catalogues also contain Planck measurements of the SZ mass observable, M<sub>SZ</sub>, as calculated using a Y-M scaling relation and an assumed redshift to break the Y-&theta;<sub>s</sub> degeneracy.  These are provided for each detection as functions of assumed redshift, in the range 0.01 < z < 1, along with the upper and lower 68% confidence limits.
+
'''Related products'''
  
−
The selection function of the union catalogue, the intersection catalogue and the individual catalogues are provided in additional files. The selection function files contains the probability of detection for clusters of given intrinsic parameters &theta;<sub>500</sub> and Y<sub>500</sub>.  The file includes the definition of the survey area in the form of a HEALPix mask, and is evaluated for a range of signal-to-noise thresholds between 4.5 and 10.

The Plank Early Release Compact Source Catalogue was the first Planck product to be publicly released in Jan 2011. It was produced with a very rapid turnaround to facilitate follow-up observations with existing  cryogenic observatories such as Herschel. It contained a list of all high reliability sources, both Galactic and extragalactic, that were derived from the first all sky coverage by Planck. i.e., using observations obtained from 12 August 2009 to 6 June 2010. Thus the full sky was covered once, and ~60% of the sky was covered twice. The goals were to achieve a photometric accuracy of 30% and a positional accuracy  1/5 of the beam FWHM in the RMS sense.

The ERCSC consisted of nine source lists, one at each of the nine Planck frequency channels. The number of sources in the lists range from 705 at 30 GHz to 8988 at 857 GHz. No attempt was made to cross-match the sources from the different frequencies due to the wide range of spatial resolutions (33 arcmin at 30 GHz to 4.3 arcmin at 857 GHz) spanned by Planck. Furthermore, a list of ''Cold Cores'' of interstellar molecular clouds within the Galaxy and a list of galaxy clusters detected through the Sunyaev- Zel’dovich effect (SZ), were also provided. These consisted of candidate sources that were detected using multifrequency algorithms that use the distinct spectral signature of such sources. The Cold Cores catalogue contained 915 sources while the SZ cluster catalogue consisted of 189 sources

| VERSION || String || || Version of catalogue
+
In order to generate the ERCSC,  four source detection algorithms were run as part of the ERCSC pipeline. A Monte-Carlo algorithm based on the injection and extraction of artificial sources into the Planck maps was implemented to select reliable sources among all extracted candidates such that the cumulative reliability of the catalogue is >90%. Reliability is defined as the fraction of sources in the catalog which have measured flux densities which are within 30% of their true flux density. There is no requirement on completeness for the ERCSC. As a result of the Monte-Carlo assessment of reliability of sources from the different techniques, an implementation of the PowellSnakes source extraction technique was used at the five frequencies between 30 and 143 GHz while the SExtractor technique was used between 217 and 857 GHz. The 10σ photometric flux density limit of the catalogue at |<i>b</i>| > 30&deg; is 0.49, 1.0, 0.67, 0.5, 0.33, 0.28, 0.25, 0.47 and 0.82 Jy at each of the nine frequencies between 30 and 857GHz. Sources which are up to a factor of ~2 fainter than this limit, and which are present in "clean" regions of the Galaxy where the sky background due to emission from the interstellar medium is low, are included in the ERCSC if they meet the high reliability criterion.  The sensitivity of the ERCSC is shown in the figure below. The ERCSC sources have known associations to stars with dust shells, stellar cores, radio galaxies, blazars, infrared-luminous galaxies and Galactic interstellar medium features. A significant fraction of unclassified sources are also present in the catalogs.

The multifrequency information from Planck allows some basic classification of the sources to be undertaken. In the Galactic plane, at frequencies below 100 GHz, the majority of the sources are dominated by synchrotron or free-free emission. At the higher frequencies, the sources are almost exclusively dominated by thermal dust emission. At high Galactic latitudes however, the synchrotron sources  dominate the source counts to 217 GHz with dusty sources being the primary source population at 353 GHz and higher. Recent attempts to classify a subset of the Planck 857 GHz sources at high latitudes based on cross-correlations with sources in other catalogs such as WISE and SDSS, found that almost half of them are associated with stars and low-redshift galaxies while a significant fraction (44%) might be interstellar medium features{{BibCite|Johnson2013}}.

The figure shows the ERCSC flux density limits, quanitfied as the faintest ERCSC source at |b|<10 deg (dashed black line) and at |b|>30 deg (solid black line), compared to those of other wide area surveys ({{PlanckPapers|planck2011-1-10}}). Also shown are spectra of known sources of foreground emission as red lines. The ERCSC sensitivity is worse in the Galactic plane due to the strong contribution of ISM emission, especially at submillimeter wavelengths. At face value, the WMAP and Planck flux density limits appear to be comparable at the lowest frequencies, but the Planck ERCSC is much more complete as discussed in {{PlanckPapers|planck2011-1-10}}.

=== (2015) Bayesian Extraction and Estimation Package (BeeP) reprocessing of PCCS2+PCCS2E at 857 GHz ===
 +
 
 +
<span class="sans-serif">BeeP</span>’s catalogue was developed using the data and the methodology described in the companion paper {{PlanckPapers|planck2020-LV}}.<br />
 +
 
 +
Traits:<br />
 +
* It is a catalogue of compact objects.
 +
* It is the result of a ‘''non-blind''’ exercise where Planck’s PCCS2+2E catalogue positions at 857 GHz were used. It contains exactly the same number of rows as the original catalogue and no attempt of detecting new sources was made.
 +
* It is a parametric Bayesian multi-channel algorithm. The source parameter estimates are derived from the posterior distributions of a data model likelihood.
 +
* It employs Planck all-sky temperature maps at <math display="inline">353, 545, 857</math> GHz channels from the Planck 2015 release and the <math display="inline">3000</math> GHz IRIS map, a reprocessed IRAS map.<br />
 +
 
 +
The catalogue product is made of three components:<br />
 +
* A table with source parameter estimates and uncertainty summary statistics: [http://pla.esac.esa.int/pla/aio/product-action?SOURCE_LIST.NAME=COM_PCCS_BEEP_R2.00.fits COM_PCCS_BEEP_R2.00.fits].
 +
* A collection of Spectral Energy Density (SED) figures. <span>Not yet available</span>
 +
* A collection of figures with the parameter posterior distributions. <span>Not yet available</span>
 +
 
 +
==== Table of source parameter estimates. ====
 +
The table with the source parameters contains 48181 rows, as many as in Planck 857 GHz channel PCCS2 and PCCSE catalogues combined. Each row has 108 fields (columns). If a field value is ill defined or not available, then its value is set to largest negative value of the double type in the IEEE standard: <math display="inline">\approx -1.797693 \times 10^{305}</math>. The table of source parameter estimates (columns) is divided into 5 sections:
 +
 
 +
'''General'''<br />
 +
Contains fields that are independent of the physical model used to described the source, or background, emission. It holds the reliability assessment fields (see section A.1.2 and 6.2.3 of the companion paper).
 +
* <span class="sans-serif">BeeP</span> position columns were obtained using the MBB SED model.
 +
* If a likelihood maximum was not found, then <span class="sans-serif">MAXFOUND</span> is set to <math display="inline">0</math>, otherwise is <math display="inline">1</math>.
 +
* <span class="sans-serif">NPSNR</span> is <span class="sans-serif">BeeP</span>’s proxy for the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) in a statistical sense (detection significance) like ‘''how many sigmas this detection is''’. It cannot be read as the flux density divided by the flux density error bar. A Gaussian homogeneous background is assumed.
 +
* <span class="sans-serif">SRCSIG</span> is <span class="sans-serif">BeeP</span>’s detection significance. It is derived from <span class="sans-serif">NPSNR</span> with a non-Gaussianity correction based on <span class="sans-serif">RELTH</span> applied.
 +
* <span class="sans-serif">EST_QUALITY</span> indicates the expected quality of the source parameter estimates. The highest quality is 5. Then, if a source does not meet the conditions in table, the correspondent penalty is subtracted.
 +
* The field &quot;<span class="sans-serif">NAME</span>&quot; has the exact same source name as in Planck’s 857 GHz channel PCCS2+2E and should be used to reference any source in this catalogue.<br />
 +
 
 +
'''Thermal sub-catalogue''' (see section 6.2.1 of the companion paper)
 +
* The sources Spectral Energy Density (SED) was modeled after a Modified Black-Body (MBB) with <math display="inline">3</math> parameters: Temperature (<math display="inline">T</math>), Spectral index (<math display="inline">\beta</math>) and Flux density at a reference channel (<math display="inline">S_{\textsf{ref}}</math>).
 +
* The MBB parameters, together with the source radius and position, make the likelihood parameter set.
 +
* Colour correction coefficients were included in the likelihood.<br />
 +
 
 +
'''‘Free’ amplitude at each channel sub-catalogue'''<br />
 +
Contains a sub-catalogue of independent flux density measurements (not dependent on a SED physical model) at each of the utilized channels (see section A.1.2 of the companion paper).
 +
* Main goal was to allow a direct comparison with catalogues obtained at each channel independently. No source SED model was used
 +
* The likelihood parameter set was the flux density at each channel plus source position and radius. The best fit flux densities at each channel and error bars were computed from the flux density posterior distributions. With the <math display="inline">4</math> pairs {<math display="inline">S_\nu,\sigma_{S_\nu}</math>}, a MBB curve was fitted using a Gaussian likelihood.
 +
* During the estimation of the initial flux densities at each channel, colour-correction was not used. However when later fitting the MBB parameters colour-correction coefficients were included.<br />
 +
 
 +
'''Background thermal properties catalogue''' (see section 6.3 of the companion paper)
 +
* Main goal was to provide a measurement of the contrast between the thermal properties of the background and the source.
 +
* The average brightness around each PCCS2+2E position (<math display="inline">32\times32</math> pixels; <math display="inline">\approx 55'\times55'</math>) and its standard deviation were computed for each individual channel. The map offset levels had previously been corrected.
 +
* With the <math display="inline">4</math> pairs {<math display="inline">B_\nu,\sigma_{B_\nu}</math>}, a MBB curve with colour correction, was fitted using a Gaussian likelihood.
 +
* The Signal-to-Noise Ratio Raw (SNRr) was computed by dividing the source average brightness at each channel by the background brightness standard deviation. The source average brightness was estimated by dividing the MBB flux density estimate at that frequency by the total solid angle resulting from the convolution of the beam, at that channel, and the intrinsic source extension.<br />
 +
 
 +
'''Source ID and association fields'''<br />
 +
Adds a <span class="sans-serif">BeeP</span> source index. Contains the separation between <span class="sans-serif">BeeP</span>’s catalogue positions and those in Planck’s 857 PCCS2+2E and flags potential multiple detections of the same physical object. The field <span class="sans-serif">BEEPSRCASS</span> contains either the same index as that of the source or the index of a close neighbour if it is inside a radius of <math display="inline">8'</math> and its <span class="sans-serif">NPSNR</span> is higher.<br />

# Extension 2 contains a three-dimensional image with the two-dimensional probability distribution in &theta;<sub>s</sub> and Y for each detection. The probability distributions are evaluated on a 256 &times; 256 linear grid between the limits specified in extension 1. The limits are determined independently for each detection. The dimension of the 3D image is 256 &times; 256 &times; N<sub>det</sub>, where N<sub>det</sub> is the number of detections. The first dimension is &theta;<sub>s</sub> and the second dimension is Y.

# Extension 3 contains a three-dimensional image with the information on the M<sub>SZ</sub> observable per cluster as a function of assumed redshift. The image dimensions are 100 &times; 4 &times; N<sub>det</sub>, where N<sub>det</sub> is the number of detections. The first dimension is the assumed redshift. The second dimension has size 4: the first element is the assumed redshift value corresponding to the M<sub>SZ</sub> values. The second element is the M<sub>SZ</sub> lower 68% confidence bound, the third element is the M<sub>SZ</sub> estimate and the fourth element is the M<sub>SZ</sub> upper 68% confidence bound, all in units of 10<sup>14</sup>&nbsp;M<sub>sol</sub>. These uncertainties are based on the Planck measurement uncertainties only. Not included in the error estimates are the statistical errors on the scaling relation, the intrinsic scatter in the relation, or systematic errors in data selection for the scaling relation fit.

Three pipelines are used to detect SZ clusters: two independent implementations of the Matched Multi-Filter (MMF1 and MMF3), and PowellSnakes (PwS). The main catalogue is constructed as the union of the catalogues from the three detection methods. The individual catalogues are provided for the expert user in order to assess the consistency of the pipelines. The completeness and reliability of the catalogues have been assessed through internal and external validation as described in sections 3-6 of {{PlanckPapers|planck2013-p05a}}.

The union catalogue contains the coordinates and the signal-to-noise ratio of the detections and a summary of the external validation information, including external identification of a cluster and its redshift if it is available.
+
==== Position and flux density correction ====
  
−
The individual catalogues contain the coordinates and the signal-to-noise ratio of the detections, and information on the size and flux of the detections. The entries are cross-referenced to the detections in the union catalogue.
+
In sections B.2, B.3 and B.4 of the companion paper, it is suggested that the catalogue error bars of the source position (<span class="sans-serif">POSERR</span>) and flux density (<span class="sans-serif">SREFH2SB</span>, <span class="sans-serif">SREFL2SB</span>) estimates may be over-optimistic for objects with high <span class="sans-serif">NPSNR</span>. If a more accurate estimate of the uncertainty is desirable, then a correction must be added to the catalogue values.
  
−
The size of a detection is given in terms of the scale size, $\theta_\mathrm{s}$, and the flux is given in terms of the total integrated Comptonization parameter, $Y = Y_{5r_{500}}$. The parameters of the GNFW profile assumed by the detection pipelines is written in the headers in the catalogues. For the sake of convenience, the conversion factor from $Y$ to $Y_{500}$ is also written in the header.
+
===== Position correction =====
  
−
The full information on the degeneracy between $\theta_\mathrm{s}$ and $Y$ is included in the individual catalogues in the form of the two-dimensional probability distribution for each detection. It is computed on a well-sampled grid to produce a two-dimensional image for each detection. The degeneracy information is provided in this form so it can be combined with a model or external data to produce tighter constraints on the parameters.
+
On the grounds of the suggestion in the companion paper formulas B.3 and B.7, we recommend the following correction to be added: <math display="block">\label{eq:PositionCorrection}
 +
\sigma^2_{pos} = \textsf{POSERR}^{2} + 0.00545,</math> where <span class="sans-serif">POSERR</span> must be expressed in arcmin. In the paper’s figure B.6 we show, in red and green, the effect of applying the suggested correction.
  
 +
===== Flux density correction =====
  
−
   
+
<math display="block">\label{eq:CorrectionVar}
−
'''Union Catalogue'''
+
\sigma_s \equiv \sqrt{\sigma_{cat}^2 + (c * \ln({\small \textsf{NPSNR}}))^2},</math> where <math display="inline">c</math> is one of the constants in table [[#table:CorrectionFlux|1]] and <math display="inline">\sigma_{cat}</math> can be given either by
 +
 
 +
<math display="inline">\frac{\textsf{SREFH2SB}-\textsf{SREFL2SB}}{4}</math>

 +
\sigma^2_{s} =  \left(\frac{\textsf{SREFH2SB}-\textsf{SREFL2SB}}{4}\right)^2 + (0.057 * \ln(\textsf{NPSNR}))^2,</math> where we have used the correction constant for the ‘''PCCS2 region''’, <math display="inline">c= 57</math> mJy.<br />
 +
<math display="block">\sigma_{s} = \sqrt{\left(\frac{1.22-0.71}{4}\right)^2 + (0.057 * \ln(32.43)^2} = 236 \, \textrm{mJy},</math> In figures 11 and B.7, we show, in red and blue, the effect of applying the symmetrical correction.

The Planck Catalogue of  Galactic Cold Clumps (PGCC) is a list of 13188 Galactic sources and 54 sources located in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. The sources have been identified in Planck data as sources colder than their environment. The PGCC has been built using 48 months of Planck data at 857, 545, and 353 GHz, combined with the 3-THz IRAS data, as described in {{PlanckPapers | planck2014-a37}}.

|INDEX || Int*4 || || Index. Used to cross-reference with individual catalogues.

Sources are divided into three categories based on the reliability of the flux density estimates in the IRAS 3-THz and Planck 857, 545, and 353 GHz bands:
 +
* FLUX_QUALITY=1, sources with flux density estimates S/N > 1 in all bands;
 +
* FLUX_QUALITY=2, sources with flux density estimates S/N > 1 only in the 857-, 545-, and 353-GHz Planck bands, considered as very cold source candidates;
 +
* FLUX_QUALITY=3, sources without any reliable flux density estimates, listed as poor candidates.
 +
The all-sky distributions of the PGCC sources per FLUX_QUALITY category are plotted below of the 857-GHz map in grey scale, varying in logarithmically between 10<sup>-2</sup> and 10<sup>2</sup> MJy sr<sup>-1</sup>.

 +
[[File:PGCC_allsky_FQ3.png|800px|thumb|center|All-sky distribution of the PGCC sources with FLUX_QUALITY=3.]]
 +
 
 +
Distance estimates have been obtained for 5574 PGCC sources using seven different methods, as described in {{PlanckPapers | planck2014-a37}}. A flag is set to quantify the quality of the distance estimates, defined as follows:
 +
* DIST_QUALITY=0, no distance estimate;
 +
* DIST_QUALITY=1, single distance estimate;
 +
* DIST_QUALITY=2, multiple distance estimates which are consistent within 1&sigma;;
 +
* DIST_QUALITY=3, multiple distance estimates which are not consistent within 1&sigma;;
 +
* DIST_QUALITY=4, single upper limits.
 +
The all-sky distribution of sources with robust distance estimates is shown below.
 +
[[File:PGCC_allsky_DIST.png|800px|thumb|center|All-sky distribution of the  4655 PGCC sources for which a distance estimate with a DIST_QUALITY flag equal to 1 or 2 is available. The various types of distance estimates are defined as follows : kinematic (purple), optical extinction (blue), near-infrared extinction (green), molecular complex association (orange), and Herschel HKP-GCC (red). We also show the distribution of  the 664 sources with an upper-limit estimate  (DIST_QUALITY=4) provided by the near-infrared extinction method (light green). Molecular complexes are outlined with black contours.]]

'''Caveats'''
 
−
 
 
−
The following issue was found in Feb. 2014 in R1.11 of the MMF3 catalogue: the POS_ERR field values are overestimated by a factor 3.125 on average.  This issue has been resolved in R1.12.  A corrected version of the union catalogue has also been produced (also R1.12)
 
  
−
The approximate 68% (1-sigma) confidence interval in the POS_ERR field is computed as half of the 95% (2-sigma) confidence interval. Previously this was erroneously described as a 95% confidence interval.

'''Notes'''
 +
# 1: The position angle of the 2D ellipse is defined as the angle between the axis parallele to the Galactic plane and the major axis, measured clockwise.
 +
# 2: The warm background flux densities are computed using the same solid angle as for the clump flux densities, but on the warm conponent map.
 +
# 3: See text above for a full description of the FLUX_QUALITY flag, for which "1" is best.
 +
# 4: This relative bias due to blending provides a rough estimate of the factor that should be applied to the clump flux densities to obtain a corrected estimate. It has been completed using on a very simple modelling of clump morphologies and the local environment. It therefore should be used with caution.
 +
# 5: See text above for a full description of the DIST_QUALITY flag.
 +
# 6: Temperature and spectral index of the warm background are based on the warm background flux density estimates obtained on the same solid angle used for the clumps

The Planck list of high-redshift source candidates (PHZ) is a list of 2151 sources located in the cleanest 26% of the sky and identified as point sources

exhibiting an excess in the submillimetre compared to their environment. It has been built using the 48 months ofPlanck data at 857, 545, 353, and 217 GHz, combined with the 3-THz IRAS data, as described in {{PlanckPapers | planck2015-XXXIX}}. These sources are considered as high-z source candidates (z>1.5-2), given the very low contamination by Galactic cirrus, and their typical colour-colour ratios. A subsample of the PHZ list has already been followed-up with Herschel, and chararcterized as overdensities of red galaxies for more than 93% of the population, and as strongly lensed galaxies in 3% of the cases, as detailed in {{PlanckPapers | planck2014-XXVIII}}.

The Planck Catalogue of  Galactic Cold Clumps (PGCC) is a list of 13188 Galactic sources and 54 sources located in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. The sources have been identified in Planck data as sources colder than their environment. It has been buit using the 48 months Planck data at 857, 545, and 353 GHz combined with the 3 THz IRAS data, as it is described in {{PlanckPapers | planck2014-a37}}.

Sources are divided into three categories based on the reliability of the flux density estimates in IRAS 3 THz and Planck 857, 545, and 353 GHz bands.
 
−
* FLUX_QUALITY=1 : sources with flux density estimates S/N > 1 in all bands ;
 
−
* FLUX_QUALITY=2 : sources with flux density estimates S/N > 1 only in 857, 545, and 353 GHz Planck bands, considered as very cold source candidates ;
 
−
* FLUX_QUALITY=3 : sources without any reliable flux density estimates, listed as poor candidates.

Distance estimates have been obtained on 5574 PGCC sources using seven different methods/technics, as described in {{PlanckPapers | planck2014-a37}}. A flag is raised to quantify the quality of the distance estimates, defined as follows:
 
−
* DIST_QUALITY=0 : No distance estimate ;
 
−
* DIST_QUALITY=1 : Single distance estimate ;
 
−
* DIST_QUALITY=2 : Multiple distance estimates which are consistent within 1<math>\sigma</math> ;
 
−
* DIST_QUALITY=3 : Multiple distance estimates which are not consistent within 1<math>\sigma</math> ;

== (2015) Second SZ Catalogue ==
 +
 +
The Planck SZ catalogue is constructed as described in [[Compact_Source_catalogues#Planck_Sunyaev-Zeldovich_catalogue|SZ catalogue]] and in sections 2 and 3 of {{PlanckPapers|planck2014-a36}}. Three pipelines are used to detect SZ clusters: two independent implementations of the Matched Multi-Filter (MMF1 and MMF3), and PowellSnakes (PwS). The main catalogue is constructed as the union of the catalogues from the three detection methods. The completeness and reliability of the catalogues have been assessed through internal and external validation, as described in section 4 of {{PlanckPapers|planck2014-a36}}.
 +
 +
The size of a detected object is given in terms of the scale size, &theta;<sub>s</sub>, and the flux is given in terms of the total integrated Comptonization parameter, <i>Y</i> = <i>Y</i><sub>5R500</sub>. The parameters of the generalized NFW profile assumed by the detection pipelines are written in the headers of the catalogues. For the sake of convenience, the conversion factor from <i>Y</i> to <i>Y</i><sub>500</sub> is also provided in the header.
 +
 +
The union catalogue contains the coordinates of a detection, its signal-to-noise ratio, an estimate of <i>Y</i> and its uncertainty, together with a summary of the validation information, including external identification of a cluster and its redshift, if they are available. The pipeline from which the information is taken is called the reference pipeline. If more than one pipeline makes the same detection, the information is taken from the the pipeline that makes the most significant detection. Where the redshift is known, we provide the SZ mass for the reference pipeline.
 +
 +
The individual catalogues contain the coordinates and the signal-to-noise ratios of the detections, and information on the sizes and flux densities of the detections. The entries are cross-referenced to the detections in the union catalogue. The full information on the degeneracy between &theta;<sub>s</sub> and <i>Y</i> is included in the individual catalogues in the form of the two-dimensional probability distribution for each detection. It is computed on a well-sampled grid to produce a two-dimensional image for each detection. This is provided in this form so it can be combined with a model or external data to produce tighter constraints on the source parameters. The individual catalogues also contain Planck measurements of the SZ mass observable, <i>M</i><sub>SZ</sub>, as calculated using a <i>Y-M</i> scaling relation and an assumed redshift, in order to break the <i>Y</i>-&theta;<sub>s</sub> degeneracy.  These are provided for each detection as functions of assumed redshift, in the range 0.01 < <i>z</i> < 1, along with the upper and lower 68% confidence limits.
 +
 +
The selection function of the union catalogue, the intersection catalogue, and the individual catalogues are provided in additional files. The selection function files contain the probability of detection for clusters of given intrinsic parameters &theta;<sub>500</sub> and <i>Y</i><sub>500</sub>.  The file includes the definition of the survey area in the form of a HEALPix mask, and is evaluated for a range of signal-to-noise thresholds between 4.5 and 10.

Notes:
 
−
* 1: The position angle of the 2D ellipse is defined as the angle between the axis parallele to the Galactic plane and the major axis, counted clockwise.
 
−
* 2: The warm bakcground flux densities are computed using the same solid angle as for the clumps flux densities, but on the warm conponent map.
 
−
* 3: See text above for a full description of the FLUX_QUALITY flag, for which 1 is best.
 
−
* 4: This relative bias due to blending provides a rough estimate of the factor that should be applied on the clumpds flux densities to get a corrected estimate. It has been obtained on a very simple modelling of clumps morphology and the local environment. It has therefore to be taken very carefully.
 
−
* 5: See text above for a full description of the DIST_QUALITY flag.
 
−
* 6: Temperature and spectral index of the warm background are based on the warm background flux density estimates obtained on the same solid angle used for clumps

==(2015) Planck List of high-redshift source candidates==
 
  
−
The Planck list of high-redshift source candidates (PHZ) is a list of 2151 sources located in the cleanest 26% of the sky and identified as point sources

'''Notes'''
−
exhibiting an excess in the submillimeter compared to their environment. It has been built using the 48 months Planck data at 857, 545, 353 and 217 GHz combined with the 3 THz IRAS data, as it is described in {{PlanckPapers | }}. These sources are considered as high-z source candidates (z>1.5-2), given the very low contamination by Galactic cirrus.

# Format <tt>PSZ2 Glll.ll&plusmn;bb.bb</tt> where <i>l</i> and <i>b</i> are the Galactic coordinates truncated to two decimal places.
 +
# Extension 2 contains a three-dimensional image with the two-dimensional probability distribution in &theta;<sub>s</sub> and <i>Y</i> for each detection. The probability distributions are evaluated on a 256 &times; 256 linear grid between the limits specified in extension 1. The limits are determined independently for each detection. The dimension of the 3D image is 256 &times; 256 &times; <i>N</i><sub>det</sub>, where <i>N</i><sub>det</sub> is the number of detections.  The first dimension is &theta;<sub>s</sub> and the second dimension is <i>Y</i>.
 +
# Extension 3 contains a three-dimensional image with the information on the <i>M</i><sub>SZ</sub> observable per cluster as a function of assumed redshift. The image dimensions are 100 &times; 4 &times; <i>N</i><sub>det</sub>, where <i>N</i><sub>det</sub> is the number of detections. The first dimension is the assumed redshift. The second dimension has size 4: the first element is the assumed redshift value corresponding to the <i>M</i><sub>SZ</sub> values; the second element is the <i>M</i><sub>SZ</sub> lower 68% confidence bound; the third element is the M<sub>SZ</sub> estimate; and the fourth element is the <i>M</i><sub>SZ</sub> upper 68% confidence bound, all in units of 10<sup>14</sup>&nbsp;<i>M</i><sub>&#9737;</sub>. These uncertainties are based on the Planck measurement uncertainties only. Not included in the error estimates are the statistical errors on the scaling relation, the intrinsic scatter in the relation, or systematic errors in data selection for the scaling relation fit.

'''Second Planck Release (2013): Description of the Planck SZ Catalogue'''
 +
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
 +
 
 +
The Planck SZ catalogue is constructed as described in [[Compact_Source_catalogues#Planck_Sunyaev-Zeldovich_catalogue|SZ catalogue]] and in section 2 of {{PlanckPapers|planck2013-p05a}}.
 +
 
 +
Three pipelines are used to detect SZ clusters: two independent implementations of the Matched Multi-Filter (MMF1 and MMF3), and PowellSnakes (PwS). The main catalogue is constructed as the union of the catalogues from the three detection methods. The individual catalogues are provided for the expert user in order to assess the consistency of the pipelines. The completeness and reliability of the catalogues have been assessed through internal and external validation as described in sections 3-6 of {{PlanckPapers|planck2013-p05a}}.
 +
 
 +
The union catalogue contains the coordinates and the signal-to-noise ratio of the detections and a summary of the external validation information, including external identification of a cluster and its redshift if it is available.
 +
 
 +
The individual catalogues contain the coordinates and the signal-to-noise ratio of the detections, and information on the size and flux of the detections. The entries are cross-referenced to the detections in the union catalogue.
 +
 
 +
The size of a detection is given in terms of the scale size, &theta;<sub>s</sub>, and the flux is given in terms of the total integrated Comptonization parameter, <i>Y</i> = <i>Y</i><sub>5r<sub>500</sub></sub>. The parameters of the GNFW profile assumed by the detection pipelines is written in the headers in the catalogues. For the sake of convenience, the conversion factor from <i>Y</i> to <i>Y</i><sub>500</sub> is also written in the header.
 +
 
 +
The full information on the degeneracy between &theta;<sub>s</sub> and <i>Y</i> is included in the individual catalogues in the form of the two-dimensional probability distribution for each detection. It is computed on a well-sampled grid to produce a two-dimensional image for each detection. The degeneracy information is provided in this form so it can be combined with a model or external data to produce tighter constraints on the parameters.
 +
 
 +
 +
'''Union Catalogue'''
 +
 
 +
The union catalogue is contained in  ''{{PLASingleFile|fileType=cat | name=COM_PCCS_SZ-union_R1.12.fits | link=COM_PCCS_SZ-union_R1.12.fits}}''.

'''Caveats'''
 +
 
 +
The following issue was found in Feb. 2014 in R1.11 of the MMF3 catalogue: the POS_ERR field values are overestimated by a factor 3.125 on average.  This issue has been resolved in R1.12.  A corrected version of the union catalogue has also been produced (also R1.12)
 +
 
 +
The approximate 68% (1-sigma) confidence interval in the POS_ERR field is computed as half of the 95% (2&sigma;) confidence interval. Previously this was erroneously described as a 95% confidence interval.

The 2015 compact source catalogues will not be regenerated using data from the 2018 release and remain the most up-to-date products.

(2015) Second Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS2 and PCCS2E)[edit]

The second Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS2) is a set of single-frequency source catalogues extracted from the Planck full-mission maps in intensity and polarization (LFI_SkyMap_0??_1024_R2.01_full.fits and HFI_SkyMap_???_2048_R2.00_full.fits). The catalogues have been constructed as described in PCCS and in section 2 of Planck-2015-A26[1]. The validation of the catalogues is described in section 3 of Planck-2015-A26[1].

The catalogue at 100 GHz and above has been divided into two sub-catalogues: the PCCS2, in which the sources have been detected in regions of the sky where it is possible to estimate the reliability of the detections, either statistically or by using external catalogues; and PCCS2E, in which the detected sources are located in regions of the sky where it is not possible to make an estimate of their reliability.

By definition, the reliability of the whole PCCS2 is ≥ 80%, and a flag is available that allows the user to select a subsample of sources with a higher level of reliability (e.g., 90% or 95%).

The nine Planck full-mission frequency channel maps are used as input to the source detection pipelines. They contain 48 months of data for LFI channels and 29 months of data for HFI channels. Therefore the flux densities of sources obtained from the full-mission maps are the average of at least eight observations for LFI channels or at least four observations for HFI channels. The relevant properties of the frequency maps and main parameters used to generate the catalogues are summarized in Tables 1 and 2.

Four different photometry methods have been used. For one of the methods (the native photometry from the Mexican-hat wavelet detection algorithm), the analysis is performed on patches containing tangent-plane projections of the map. For the other methods (aperture photometry, point spread function fitting, and Gaussian fitting), the analysis is performed directly on the full-sky maps.

PCCS2 in intensity.
Sky distribution of the PCCS2 intensity sources for three different channels: 30 GHz (red circles); 143 GHz (blue circles); and 857 GHz (green circles). The size of the circles is related to the brightness of the sources and the beam size of each channel.
PCCS2E in intensity.
Sky distribution of the PCCS2E intensity sources for two different channels: 143 GHz (blue circles); and 857 GHz (green circles).

The analysis in polarization has been performed in a non-blind fashion, looking at the position of the sources previously detected in intensity. As a result, polarization flux densities and polarization angles have been measured for hundreds of sources with a significance >99.99%. This high threshold in significance has been chosen to minimize the possibility of misinterpreting a peak of the polarized background as a source. This implies that, in general, most of the polarized sources are very bright, introducing an additional selection effect.

PCCS2 in polarization.
Sky distribution of the PCCS2 polarization sources in three different channels: 30GHz (red circles); 44GHz (green circles); and 70GHz (blue circles).
Sky distribution of the PCCS2 polarization sources in four different channels: 100GHz (red circles); 143GHz (blue circles); 217GHz (green circles); and 353 GHz (black).
PCCS2E in polarization.
Sky distribution of the PCCS2E polarization sources at three different channels: 100GHz (red circles); 143GHz (blue circles); 217GHz (green circles); and 353 GHz (black).

Notes

  1. Format is PCCS2 fff Glll.ll±bb.bb for sources in the PCCS2 and PCCS2E fff Glll.ll±bb.bb for sources in the PCCS2E, where "fff" is the frequency channel and l and b the position of the source in Galactic coordinates truncated to two decimal places.
  2. We follow the IAU/IEEE convention (Hamaker & Bregman 1996) for defining the angle of polarization of a source in this catalogue, and this convention is also used for the other angles in the catalogue. The angle is measured from the North Galactic Pole in a clockwise direction from -90° to 90°. Note that this is different than the convention used for the CMB maps.
  3. Provided when the significance of the polarization measurement is > 99.99% and set to NULL otherwise.
  4. The P_STAT flag gives the status of the marginal polarization detection. Possible values are:
    3 – bright, the P field filled in and all PX fields set to NULL;
    2 – significant, the P field is set to NULL, 0 is outside the PX 95% HPD, and all PX fields are filled;
    1 – marginal, the P field is set to NULL, 0 is inside the PX 95% HPD (but the mode of the PX posterior distribution is not 0) and all PX fields are filled;
    0 – no detection, the P field is set to NULL, the mode of the PX posterior distribution is 0, PX_ERRL, ANGLE_PX, ANGLE_PX_ERR_LOWER, and ANGLE_PX_ERR_UPPER are set to NULL.
  5. The EXTENDED flag has the value of "0" if the source is compact and the value of "1" if it is extended. The source size is determined by the geometric mean of the Gaussian fit FWHMs, with the criterion for extension being √(GAU_FWHMMAJ * GAU_FWHMIN) > 1.5 times the beam FWHM.
  6. The EXT_VAL flag gives the status of the external validation. Possible values are:
    3 – the source has a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues used as ancillary data;
    2 – the source does not have a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues used as ancillary data, but it has been detected by the internal multi-frequency method;
    1 – the source does not have a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues used as ancillary data and it has not been detected by the internal multi-frequency method, but it has been detected in a previous Planck source catalogue;
    0 – the source does not have a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues used as ancillary data and has not been detected by the internal multi-frequency method.
  7. The HIGHEST_RELIABILTY_CAT column contains the highest reliability catalogue to which the source belongs. As the full catalogue reliability is ≥ 80%, this is the lowest possible value in this column. Where possible this is provided in steps of 1%, otherwise it is in steps of 5%.
  8. The WHICH_ZONE column encodes the zone in which the source lies:
    1 – source lies inside the filament mask;
    2 – source lies inside the Galactic zone;
    3 – sources lies in both the filament mask and Galactic zone.

Zone map[edit]

For each HFI frequency channel there is an associated map that defines where the quantified-reliability (PCCS2) and unquantified-reliability (PCCS2E) zones are on the sky.

The files are called

COM_PCCS_100-zoneMask_R2.01.fits
COM_PCCS_143-zoneMask_R2.01.fits
COM_PCCS_217-zoneMask_R2.01.fits
COM_PCCS_353-zoneMask_R2.01.fits
COM_PCCS_545-zoneMask_R2.01.fits
COM_PCCS_857-zoneMask_R2.01.fits .

The structure of the files is shown in the following table.

Zone map FITS file structure
Extension 0: Primary header, no data

FREQ_CHL String Frequency channel

Notes

  1. This FITS extension contains an integer HEALPix map, which encodes the information on which of four possible regions on the sky each pixel belongs to:
    0 – quantified-reliability zone (PCCS2);
    1 – filament mask;
    2 – Galactic zone;
    3 – filament mask and Galactic zone.

S/N threshold map[edit]

For each HFI frequency channel there are a number of maps that contains the S/N threshold used to accept sources into the PCCS2 and PCCS2E catalogues.

For the full catalogue (80% reliability in the quantified reliability zone) they are

COM_PCCS_100-SN-threshold_R2.01.fits
COM_PCCS_143-SN-threshold_R2.01.fits
COM_PCCS_217-SN-threshold_R2.01.fits
COM_PCCS_353-SN-threshold_R2.01.fits
COM_PCCS_545-SN-threshold_R2.01.fits

Previous releases: (2013) PCCS and (2011) ERCSC[edit]

Second Planck Release (2013): Description of the PCCS

The Catalogue of Compact Sources


Product description

Sky distribution of the PCCS sources at three different channels: 30GHz (pink circles), 143GHz (magenta circles) and 857GHz (green circles). The dimension of the circles is related to the brightness of the sources and the beam size of each channel.

The PCCS is a set of nine single-frequencies lists of sources extracted from the Planck nominal mission data. By definition its reliability is > 80% and a special effort was made to use simple selection procedures in order to facilitate statistical analyses. With a common detection method for all the channels and the additional three photometries, spectral analysis can also be done safely. The deeper completeness levels and, as a consequence, the higher number of sources compared with its predecessor the ERCSC, will allow the extension of previous studies to more sources and to fainter flux densities. The PCCS is the natural evolution of the ERCSC, but both lack polarization and multi-frequency information. Future releases will take advantage of the full mission data and they will contain information on properties of sources not available in this release, such as polarization, multi-frequency and variability.

Inputs

The data obtained from the Planck nominal mission between (2009 August 12 and 2010 November 27) have been processed into full-sky maps by the HFI and LFI Data Processing Centres (DPCs). A description of the processing can be found in Planck-2013-II[8] and Planck-2013-VI[9]. The data consist of two complete sky surveys and 60% of the third survey. This implies that the flux densities of sources obtained from the nominal mission maps are the average of at least two observations. The nine Planck frequency channel maps are used as input to the source detection pipelines. The relevant properties of the frequency maps and main parameters used to generate the catalogues are summarized in Table 1.

The input data used to generate this product are the following:

Notes

  1. Source names consist of a prefix and a position. The prefix used is PCCS1 fff for the catalogue at fff GHz. The position is in Galactic coordinates and specified as "Glll.ll±bb.bb" where the (l,b) values are truncated to two decimal places. For example, a source detected at (l,b) = (120.237, 4.231) in the 545 GHz Planck map would be labelled PCCS1 545 G120.23±04.23.
  2. The EXTENDED flag has the value of 0 if the source is compact and the value of 1 is it extended. The source size is determined by the geometric mean of the Gaussian fit FWHMs, with the criteria for extension being sqrt(GAU_FWHMMAJ * GAU_FWHMIN) > 1.5 times the beam FWHM.
  3. The EXT_VAL flag takes the value of 0, 1, or 2, based on the following conditions:
    = 2: The source has a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues considered as ancillary data.
    = 1: The source has no clear counterpart in one of the ancillary catalogues but it has been detected by the internal multi-frequency method (LFI channels) or match with neighbouring frequencies, above or below (HFI channels).
    = 0: The source has no clear counterpart in one of the ancillary catalogues and it has not been detected by the internal multi-frequency method or neighbouring frequencies.
  4. The x-axis is defined for each source as parallel to the line of constant colatitude, with the same direction as the longitude. Therefore the position angles are measured anticlockwise from the y-axis.


First Planck Release (2011): Description of the 2011 ERCSC (Early Compact Source, Cold Core and SZ Catalogues )

The ERCSC

The Plank Early Release Compact Source Catalogue was the first Planck product to be publicly released in Jan 2011. It was produced with a very rapid turnaround to facilitate follow-up observations with existing cryogenic observatories such as Herschel. It contained a list of all high reliability sources, both Galactic and extragalactic, that were derived from the first all sky coverage by Planck. i.e., using observations obtained from 12 August 2009 to 6 June 2010. Thus the full sky was covered once, and ~60% of the sky was covered twice. The goals were to achieve a photometric accuracy of 30% and a positional accuracy 1/5 of the beam FWHM in the RMS sense.

The ERCSC consisted of nine source lists, one at each of the nine Planck frequency channels. The number of sources in the lists range from 705 at 30 GHz to 8988 at 857 GHz. No attempt was made to cross-match the sources from the different frequencies due to the wide range of spatial resolutions (33 arcmin at 30 GHz to 4.3 arcmin at 857 GHz) spanned by Planck. Furthermore, a list of Cold Cores of interstellar molecular clouds within the Galaxy and a list of galaxy clusters detected through the Sunyaev- Zel’dovich effect (SZ), were also provided. These consisted of candidate sources that were detected using multifrequency algorithms that use the distinct spectral signature of such sources. The Cold Cores catalogue contained 915 sources while the SZ cluster catalogue consisted of 189 sources

In order to generate the ERCSC, four source detection algorithms were run as part of the ERCSC pipeline. A Monte-Carlo algorithm based on the injection and extraction of artificial sources into the Planck maps was implemented to select reliable sources among all extracted candidates such that the cumulative reliability of the catalogue is >90%. Reliability is defined as the fraction of sources in the catalog which have measured flux densities which are within 30% of their true flux density. There is no requirement on completeness for the ERCSC. As a result of the Monte-Carlo assessment of reliability of sources from the different techniques, an implementation of the PowellSnakes source extraction technique was used at the five frequencies between 30 and 143 GHz while the SExtractor technique was used between 217 and 857 GHz. The 10σ photometric flux density limit of the catalogue at |b| > 30° is 0.49, 1.0, 0.67, 0.5, 0.33, 0.28, 0.25, 0.47 and 0.82 Jy at each of the nine frequencies between 30 and 857GHz. Sources which are up to a factor of ~2 fainter than this limit, and which are present in "clean" regions of the Galaxy where the sky background due to emission from the interstellar medium is low, are included in the ERCSC if they meet the high reliability criterion. The sensitivity of the ERCSC is shown in the figure below. The ERCSC sources have known associations to stars with dust shells, stellar cores, radio galaxies, blazars, infrared-luminous galaxies and Galactic interstellar medium features. A significant fraction of unclassified sources are also present in the catalogs.

The multifrequency information from Planck allows some basic classification of the sources to be undertaken. In the Galactic plane, at frequencies below 100 GHz, the majority of the sources are dominated by synchrotron or free-free emission. At the higher frequencies, the sources are almost exclusively dominated by thermal dust emission. At high Galactic latitudes however, the synchrotron sources dominate the source counts to 217 GHz with dusty sources being the primary source population at 353 GHz and higher. Recent attempts to classify a subset of the Planck 857 GHz sources at high latitudes based on cross-correlations with sources in other catalogs such as WISE and SDSS, found that almost half of them are associated with stars and low-redshift galaxies while a significant fraction (44%) might be interstellar medium features[10].

Full details on the construction, contents and usage of the ERCSC, ECC and ESZ catalogues can be found in Planck-Early-VII[11], Planck-Early-VIII[12], Planck-Early-XXIII[13].


Flux density limits


The figure shows the ERCSC flux density limits, quanitfied as the faintest ERCSC source at |b|<10 deg (dashed black line) and at |b|>30 deg (solid black line), compared to those of other wide area surveys (Planck-Early-VII[11]). Also shown are spectra of known sources of foreground emission as red lines. The ERCSC sensitivity is worse in the Galactic plane due to the strong contribution of ISM emission, especially at submillimeter wavelengths. At face value, the WMAP and Planck flux density limits appear to be comparable at the lowest frequencies, but the Planck ERCSC is much more complete as discussed in Planck-Early-VII[11].

(2015) Bayesian Extraction and Estimation Package (BeeP) reprocessing of PCCS2+PCCS2E at 857 GHz[edit]

BeeP’s catalogue was developed using the data and the methodology described in the companion paper Planck-2020-LV[14].

Traits:

  • It is a catalogue of compact objects.
  • It is the result of a ‘non-blind’ exercise where Planck’s PCCS2+2E catalogue positions at 857 GHz were used. It contains exactly the same number of rows as the original catalogue and no attempt of detecting new sources was made.
  • It is a parametric Bayesian multi-channel algorithm. The source parameter estimates are derived from the posterior distributions of a data model likelihood.
  • It employs Planck all-sky temperature maps at [math]353, 545, 857[/math] GHz channels from the Planck 2015 release and the [math]3000[/math] GHz IRIS map, a reprocessed IRAS map.

The catalogue product is made of three components:

  • A table with source parameter estimates and uncertainty summary statistics: COM_PCCS_BEEP_R2.00.fits.
  • A collection of Spectral Energy Density (SED) figures. Not yet available
  • A collection of figures with the parameter posterior distributions. Not yet available

Table of source parameter estimates.[edit]

The table with the source parameters contains 48181 rows, as many as in Planck 857 GHz channel PCCS2 and PCCSE catalogues combined. Each row has 108 fields (columns). If a field value is ill defined or not available, then its value is set to largest negative value of the double type in the IEEE standard: [math]\approx -1.797693 \times 10^{305}[/math]. The table of source parameter estimates (columns) is divided into 5 sections:

General
Contains fields that are independent of the physical model used to described the source, or background, emission. It holds the reliability assessment fields (see section A.1.2 and 6.2.3 of the companion paper).

  • BeeP position columns were obtained using the MBB SED model.
  • If a likelihood maximum was not found, then MAXFOUND is set to [math]0[/math], otherwise is [math]1[/math].
  • NPSNR is BeeP’s proxy for the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) in a statistical sense (detection significance) like ‘how many sigmas this detection is’. It cannot be read as the flux density divided by the flux density error bar. A Gaussian homogeneous background is assumed.
  • SRCSIG is BeeP’s detection significance. It is derived from NPSNR with a non-Gaussianity correction based on RELTH applied.
  • EST_QUALITY indicates the expected quality of the source parameter estimates. The highest quality is 5. Then, if a source does not meet the conditions in table, the correspondent penalty is subtracted.
  • The field "NAME" has the exact same source name as in Planck’s 857 GHz channel PCCS2+2E and should be used to reference any source in this catalogue.

Thermal sub-catalogue (see section 6.2.1 of the companion paper)

  • The sources Spectral Energy Density (SED) was modeled after a Modified Black-Body (MBB) with [math]3[/math] parameters: Temperature ([math]T[/math]), Spectral index ([math]\beta[/math]) and Flux density at a reference channel ([math]S_{\textsf{ref}}[/math]).
  • The MBB parameters, together with the source radius and position, make the likelihood parameter set.
  • Colour correction coefficients were included in the likelihood.

‘Free’ amplitude at each channel sub-catalogue
Contains a sub-catalogue of independent flux density measurements (not dependent on a SED physical model) at each of the utilized channels (see section A.1.2 of the companion paper).

  • Main goal was to allow a direct comparison with catalogues obtained at each channel independently. No source SED model was used
  • The likelihood parameter set was the flux density at each channel plus source position and radius. The best fit flux densities at each channel and error bars were computed from the flux density posterior distributions. With the [math]4[/math] pairs {[math]S_\nu,\sigma_{S_\nu}[/math]}, a MBB curve was fitted using a Gaussian likelihood.
  • During the estimation of the initial flux densities at each channel, colour-correction was not used. However when later fitting the MBB parameters colour-correction coefficients were included.

Background thermal properties catalogue (see section 6.3 of the companion paper)

  • Main goal was to provide a measurement of the contrast between the thermal properties of the background and the source.
  • The average brightness around each PCCS2+2E position ([math]32\times32[/math] pixels; [math]\approx 55'\times55'[/math]) and its standard deviation were computed for each individual channel. The map offset levels had previously been corrected.
  • With the [math]4[/math] pairs {[math]B_\nu,\sigma_{B_\nu}[/math]}, a MBB curve with colour correction, was fitted using a Gaussian likelihood.
  • The Signal-to-Noise Ratio Raw (SNRr) was computed by dividing the source average brightness at each channel by the background brightness standard deviation. The source average brightness was estimated by dividing the MBB flux density estimate at that frequency by the total solid angle resulting from the convolution of the beam, at that channel, and the intrinsic source extension.

Source ID and association fields
Adds a BeeP source index. Contains the separation between BeeP’s catalogue positions and those in Planck’s 857 PCCS2+2E and flags potential multiple detections of the same physical object. The field BEEPSRCASS contains either the same index as that of the source or the index of a close neighbour if it is inside a radius of [math]8'[/math] and its NPSNR is higher.

Position and flux density correction[edit]

In sections B.2, B.3 and B.4 of the companion paper, it is suggested that the catalogue error bars of the source position (POSERR) and flux density (SREFH2SB, SREFL2SB) estimates may be over-optimistic for objects with high NPSNR. If a more accurate estimate of the uncertainty is desirable, then a correction must be added to the catalogue values.

Position correction[edit]

On the grounds of the suggestion in the companion paper formulas B.3 and B.7, we recommend the following correction to be added: [math]\label{eq:PositionCorrection} \sigma^2_{pos} = \textsf{POSERR}^{2} + 0.00545,[/math] where POSERR must be expressed in arcmin. In the paper’s figure B.6 we show, in red and green, the effect of applying the suggested correction.

Flux density correction[edit]

[math]\label{eq:CorrectionVar} \sigma_s \equiv \sqrt{\sigma_{cat}^2 + (c * \ln({\small \textsf{NPSNR}}))^2},[/math] where [math]c[/math] is one of the constants in table 1 and [math]\sigma_{cat}[/math] can be given either by

[math]\frac{\textsf{SREFH2SB}-\textsf{SREFL2SB}}{4}[/math]
for a symmetric error bar, or
[math]\frac{\textsf{SREFH2SB}-\textsf{SREF}}{2}[/math] and [math]\frac{\textsf{SREF}-\textsf{SREFL2SB}}{2}[/math]
if the non-symmetrical character of the uncertainty needs to be preserved.

Example of a symmetrical correction: Source PCCS2 857 G002.95+57.96 (NPSNR[math]= 32.43[/math]). [math]\label{eq:SrefCorrectionNUmerical} \sigma^2_{s} = \left(\frac{\textsf{SREFH2SB}-\textsf{SREFL2SB}}{4}\right)^2 + (0.057 * \ln(\textsf{NPSNR}))^2,[/math] where we have used the correction constant for the ‘PCCS2 region’, [math]c= 57[/math] mJy.
[math]\sigma_{s} = \sqrt{\left(\frac{1.22-0.71}{4}\right)^2 + (0.057 * \ln(32.43)^2} = 236 \, \textrm{mJy},[/math] In figures 11 and B.7, we show, in red and blue, the effect of applying the symmetrical correction.

Spectral Energy Density (SED) plots[edit]

The yellow and red dashed curves are the median and maximum-likelihood fits, respectively. The purple and black bands are the [math]\pm1\,\sigma[/math] and [math]\pm2\,\sigma[/math] regions, respectively, of the full posterior density. Blue diamonds are the PCCS2+2E flux-density estimates (APERFLUX). The green diamonds are: in the upper panel BeeP’s estimate of the flux density at 857 GHz, and in the middle panel BeeP’s Free estimates of the flux density at each frequency. In the lower panel, dark green diamonds are the background brightness estimates at each frequency, and the green curves are the maximum likelihood (dashed) and the median (solid) models. Red diamonds are the average source brightness divided by the background rms brightness in that patch, i.e., raw S/N. The data points are slightly displaced from their nominal frequencies to avoid overlaps. | Source ‘SED plot’, showing the SED curves for the MBB (upper panel) and Free (middle panel) models for one source (NGC 895).

Red diamonds are the average source brightness divided by the background rms brightness in that patch, i.e., raw S/N. The data points are slightly displaced from their nominal frequencies to avoid overlaps.

Another component of the catalogue is a collection of figures, one for each row, that displays the SED curves for each of the models. There are three different panels in each figure,

  • SOURCE: Is the PCCS2+2E name of the source.
  • BEEPGLON and BEEPGLAT: Are the Galactic longitude and latitude computed by BeeP using the MBB SED model.
  • SRCSIG, NPSNR and EST_QUALITY are the fields defining the reliability of the source and the estimation quality (see companion paper section 5.4).
  • Upper panel - MBB SED curves.

This figure shows the SED curves drawn from the MBB parameter samples when marginalising over all others. There is a curve for each sample drawn from BeeP’s posterior. In purple, if the sample was inside the [math]68\%[/math] HPD[18] of the full posterior, otherwise in black. The golden line is drawn from the Median of the marginalised distributions and the dashed red line from the maximum likelihood solution. The green diamond is BeeP’s estimate of the reference flux density (at 857 GHz).

  • Middle panel - ‘Free’ channel amplitudes.

The green diamonds are BeeP’s posterior medians of the flux densities at each channel[19]. The purple and black lines have the same meaning as in the upper panel but the posterior samples were drawn from fitting a MBB SED model, using a Gaussian likelihood, to the green diamonds and respective error bars. Blue diamonds are the PCCS2+2E flux-density estimates (APERFLUX).

  • Lower panel - Background/Foreground contrast parameters.

The dark green diamonds are the background brightness estimates at each frequency. The green curves were fitted to the individual brightness estimates using a MBB model and a Gaussian likelihood just like in the case of the middle panel. The green dashed line is the maximum likelihood solution and the solid the Median. The red diamonds are BeeP’s SNRr: Source average brightness divided by the background brightness standard deviation in that patch.

  • The TEMP and BETA numerical parameter values, shown in all panels, are the marginalised posterior medians.
  • The [math]\chi^2[/math] values are the reduced [math]\chi^2[/math] of the maximum likelihood solution.

Parameter posterior distributions (‘corner plots’)[edit]

This component of the catalogue is another collection of figures showing the MBB parameter posterior distributions of BeeP’s likelihood in the form of a ‘corner’ plot (see figure 5).

  • SOURCE: Is the PCCS2+2E name of the source.
  • GLON and GLAT: Are the Galactic longitude and latitude in the PCCS2+2E catalogue. These are the [math](0,0)[/math] coordinates of the parameters [math]dX[/math] and [math]dY[/math].
  • SRCSIG, NPSNR and EST_QUALITY are the fields defining the reliability of the source and the estimation quality (see companion paper section 5.4).
  • The figures in the diagonal are the marginal distributions (histogram) of each MBB parameter and the non-diagonal show the joint distribution (bi-dimensional histogram) of the row-column parameters.
  • Darker patterns mean higher probability density.
  • The vertical lines in the marginals ate the {[math]2.5, 50.0, 97.5[/math]} percentiles.
  • The violet line is the PCCS2+2E catalogue flux density at the [math]857[/math] GHz channel (APERFLUX).

This figure shows, in each non-diagonal position, the marginalised bi-dimensional posterior distribution of the parameter samples defining the row and the column. The diagonal locations contain posterior marginalized distributions. The violet line is the PCCS2+2E catalogue flux density at the [math]857[/math] GHz channel. There is one of these plots for each source in BeeP’s catalogue (APERFLUX).


(2015) Planck Catalogue of Galactic Cold Clumps[edit]

The Planck Catalogue of Galactic Cold Clumps (PGCC) is a list of 13188 Galactic sources and 54 sources located in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. The sources have been identified in Planck data as sources colder than their environment. The PGCC has been built using 48 months of Planck data at 857, 545, and 353 GHz, combined with the 3-THz IRAS data, as described in Planck-2015-A28[20].

The all-sky distribution of the PGCC sources is plotted below on the 857-GHz emission shown in logarithmic scale between 10-2 to 102 MJy sr-1.

All-sky distribution of the PGCC sources.

Sources are divided into three categories based on the reliability of the flux density estimates in the IRAS 3-THz and Planck 857, 545, and 353 GHz bands:

  • FLUX_QUALITY=1, sources with flux density estimates S/N > 1 in all bands;
  • FLUX_QUALITY=2, sources with flux density estimates S/N > 1 only in the 857-, 545-, and 353-GHz Planck bands, considered as very cold source candidates;
  • FLUX_QUALITY=3, sources without any reliable flux density estimates, listed as poor candidates.

The all-sky distributions of the PGCC sources per FLUX_QUALITY category are plotted below of the 857-GHz map in grey scale, varying in logarithmically between 10-2 and 102 MJy sr-1.

All-sky distribution of the PGCC sources with FLUX_QUALITY=1.
All-sky distribution of the PGCC sources with FLUX_QUALITY=2.
All-sky distribution of the PGCC sources with FLUX_QUALITY=3.

Distance estimates have been obtained for 5574 PGCC sources using seven different methods, as described in Planck-2015-A28[20]. A flag is set to quantify the quality of the distance estimates, defined as follows:

  • DIST_QUALITY=0, no distance estimate;
  • DIST_QUALITY=1, single distance estimate;
  • DIST_QUALITY=2, multiple distance estimates which are consistent within 1σ;
  • DIST_QUALITY=3, multiple distance estimates which are not consistent within 1σ;
  • DIST_QUALITY=4, single upper limits.

The all-sky distribution of sources with robust distance estimates is shown below.

All-sky distribution of the 4655 PGCC sources for which a distance estimate with a DIST_QUALITY flag equal to 1 or 2 is available. The various types of distance estimates are defined as follows : kinematic (purple), optical extinction (blue), near-infrared extinction (green), molecular complex association (orange), and Herschel HKP-GCC (red). We also show the distribution of the 664 sources with an upper-limit estimate (DIST_QUALITY=4) provided by the near-infrared extinction method (light green). Molecular complexes are outlined with black contours.

The catalogue is contained in the FITS file HFI_PCCS_GCC_R2.02.fits. Its structure is shown in the following table.

Notes

  1. 1: The position angle of the 2D ellipse is defined as the angle between the axis parallele to the Galactic plane and the major axis, measured clockwise.
  2. 2: The warm background flux densities are computed using the same solid angle as for the clump flux densities, but on the warm conponent map.
  3. 3: See text above for a full description of the FLUX_QUALITY flag, for which "1" is best.
  4. 4: This relative bias due to blending provides a rough estimate of the factor that should be applied to the clump flux densities to obtain a corrected estimate. It has been completed using on a very simple modelling of clump morphologies and the local environment. It therefore should be used with caution.
  5. 5: See text above for a full description of the DIST_QUALITY flag.
  6. 6: Temperature and spectral index of the warm background are based on the warm background flux density estimates obtained on the same solid angle used for the clumps


(2015) Planck list of high-redshift source candidates[edit]

The Planck list of high-redshift source candidates (PHZ) is a list of 2151 sources located in the cleanest 26% of the sky and identified as point sources exhibiting an excess in the submillimetre compared to their environment. It has been built using the 48 months ofPlanck data at 857, 545, 353, and 217 GHz, combined with the 3-THz IRAS data, as described in Planck-2015-XXXIX[21]. These sources are considered as high-z source candidates (z>1.5-2), given the very low contamination by Galactic cirrus, and their typical colour-colour ratios. A subsample of the PHZ list has already been followed-up with Herschel, and chararcterized as overdensities of red galaxies for more than 93% of the population, and as strongly lensed galaxies in 3% of the cases, as detailed in Planck-2014-XXVIII[22].

The all-sky distribution of the PHZ sources is shown below on an orthographic projection.

(2015) Second SZ Catalogue[edit]

The Planck SZ catalogue is constructed as described in SZ catalogue and in sections 2 and 3 of Planck-2015-A27[23]. Three pipelines are used to detect SZ clusters: two independent implementations of the Matched Multi-Filter (MMF1 and MMF3), and PowellSnakes (PwS). The main catalogue is constructed as the union of the catalogues from the three detection methods. The completeness and reliability of the catalogues have been assessed through internal and external validation, as described in section 4 of Planck-2015-A27[23].

The size of a detected object is given in terms of the scale size, θs, and the flux is given in terms of the total integrated Comptonization parameter, Y = Y5R500. The parameters of the generalized NFW profile assumed by the detection pipelines are written in the headers of the catalogues. For the sake of convenience, the conversion factor from Y to Y500 is also provided in the header.

The union catalogue contains the coordinates of a detection, its signal-to-noise ratio, an estimate of Y and its uncertainty, together with a summary of the validation information, including external identification of a cluster and its redshift, if they are available. The pipeline from which the information is taken is called the reference pipeline. If more than one pipeline makes the same detection, the information is taken from the the pipeline that makes the most significant detection. Where the redshift is known, we provide the SZ mass for the reference pipeline.

The individual catalogues contain the coordinates and the signal-to-noise ratios of the detections, and information on the sizes and flux densities of the detections. The entries are cross-referenced to the detections in the union catalogue. The full information on the degeneracy between θs and Y is included in the individual catalogues in the form of the two-dimensional probability distribution for each detection. It is computed on a well-sampled grid to produce a two-dimensional image for each detection. This is provided in this form so it can be combined with a model or external data to produce tighter constraints on the source parameters. The individual catalogues also contain Planck measurements of the SZ mass observable, MSZ, as calculated using a Y-M scaling relation and an assumed redshift, in order to break the Y-θs degeneracy. These are provided for each detection as functions of assumed redshift, in the range 0.01 < z < 1, along with the upper and lower 68% confidence limits.

The selection function of the union catalogue, the intersection catalogue, and the individual catalogues are provided in additional files. The selection function files contain the probability of detection for clusters of given intrinsic parameters θ500 and Y500. The file includes the definition of the survey area in the form of a HEALPix mask, and is evaluated for a range of signal-to-noise thresholds between 4.5 and 10.

The union catalogue is contained in HFI_PCCS_SZ-union_R2.08.fits.

Second Planck Release (2013): Description of the Planck SZ Catalogue

The Planck SZ catalogue is constructed as described in SZ catalogue and in section 2 of Planck-2013-XXIX[24].

Three pipelines are used to detect SZ clusters: two independent implementations of the Matched Multi-Filter (MMF1 and MMF3), and PowellSnakes (PwS). The main catalogue is constructed as the union of the catalogues from the three detection methods. The individual catalogues are provided for the expert user in order to assess the consistency of the pipelines. The completeness and reliability of the catalogues have been assessed through internal and external validation as described in sections 3-6 of Planck-2013-XXIX[24].

The union catalogue contains the coordinates and the signal-to-noise ratio of the detections and a summary of the external validation information, including external identification of a cluster and its redshift if it is available.

The individual catalogues contain the coordinates and the signal-to-noise ratio of the detections, and information on the size and flux of the detections. The entries are cross-referenced to the detections in the union catalogue.

The size of a detection is given in terms of the scale size, θs, and the flux is given in terms of the total integrated Comptonization parameter, Y = Y5r500. The parameters of the GNFW profile assumed by the detection pipelines is written in the headers in the catalogues. For the sake of convenience, the conversion factor from Y to Y500 is also written in the header.

The full information on the degeneracy between θs and Y is included in the individual catalogues in the form of the two-dimensional probability distribution for each detection. It is computed on a well-sampled grid to produce a two-dimensional image for each detection. The degeneracy information is provided in this form so it can be combined with a model or external data to produce tighter constraints on the parameters.

Notes

  1. format is PSZ1 Glll.ll+mn;bb.b where l nd b are the Galactic and truncated to 2 decimal places.
  2. The three least significant decimal digits are used to represent detection or non-detection by the pipelines. Order of the digits: hundreds = MMF1; tens = MMF3; units = PwS. If it is detected then the corresponding digit is set to 1, otherwise it is set to 0.
  3. values are: 1 = candidate of class 1; 2 = candidate of class 2; 3 = candidate of class 3; 10 = Planck cluster confirmed by follow-up; 20 = known cluster.
  4. The comments on the detections in the catalogue are contained in a text file called COM_PCCS_SZ-union_comments_R1.11.txt, which contains one line for each detection in the union catalogue with COMMENT = T. The line starts with the INDEX and NAME of the detection to facilitate cross-referencing. The remainder of the line is the comment on that detection.

Notes

  1. Format PSZ1 Glll.ll±bb.bb where l and b are the Galactic coordinates truncated to two decimal places.
  2. For PwS, this is the S/N evaluated in a manner compatible with the MMF pipelines. For MMF1 and MMF3, it is identical to S/N.
  3. Ext. 2 contains a three-dimensional image with the two-dimensional probability distribution in θs and Y for each detection. The probability distributions are evaluated on a 256 × 256 linear grid between the limits specified in Ext. 1. The limits are determined independently for each detection. The dimension of the 3D image is 256 × 256 × n, where n is the number of detections. The first dimension is θs and the second dimension is Y.


Mask

The mask used to construct the catalogue is contained in a file: COM_PCCS_SZ-unionMask_2048_R1.11.fits. 

It is in GALACTIC coordinates, NESTED ordering, NSIDE=2048.


Additional information

A set of comments on the union catalogue is available in

COM_DocPCCS_SZ-union-comments_R1.11.txt

Additional information on the SZ detections was retrieved from external sources and written into the FITS file

COM_PCCS_SZ-validation_R1.12.fits

(for more details see Planck-2013-XXIX[24]). This file contains a single BINTABLE extension. The table contains 1 line per source, and the columns and their meaning are given below.

Notes

  1. Unabsorbed X-ray flux measured in an aperture of 5 arcmin in the band [0.1-2.4] keV. The aperture is centered on the Planck position, except for candidates associated with a BSC source for which we adopt the X-ray position. For sources with [math](S/N)_{RASS} \lt 1\sigma[/math], we only quote an upper limit.
  2. SZ signal re-extracted fixing the size to the X-ray size provided in the MCXC catalogue at the X-ray position, for PSZ clusters identified with MCXC clusters.
  3. Computed in the Planck data at the X-ray position fixing the size to the X-ray size provided in the MCXC catalogue, for PSZ clusters identified with MCXC clusters.
  4. Source for redshifts:
    -1 : No redshift available;

Caveats

The following issue was found in Feb. 2014 in R1.11 of the MMF3 catalogue: the POS_ERR field values are overestimated by a factor 3.125 on average. This issue has been resolved in R1.12. A corrected version of the union catalogue has also been produced (also R1.12)

The approximate 68% (1-sigma) confidence interval in the POS_ERR field is computed as half of the 95% (2σ) confidence interval. Previously this was erroneously described as a 95% confidence interval.
