| − | Given the number and diversity of products made available in this release, the descriptions offered here for each product are not always exhaustive, but they try to cover in every case the most immediate needs of the user: what a product consists of; what the limitations and caveats are for each product; and what the format of each data file is. On top of this basic information, the user is also offered a summary of the production process for each product. For details, users are advised to consult the Planck papers accompanying the data release.
