^{\rm a} Determined by fitting Jupiter observations directly in the timelines.

^{\rm b} Calculated from the main beam solid angle of the effective beam, \Omega_{\rm eff} = \hbox{mean}(\Omega). These values are used in the source extraction pipeline Planck-2015-A35[2].


^{\rm 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.

^{\rm d} Values derived from fitting noise spectra.

^{\rm 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 \lt \ell \lt 250 , see Planck-2015-A05[3].

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