=== 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.

Catalogue of Compact Sources[edit]

Product description[edit]

The second version of the Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS2 and PCCS2E) is a set of single-frequency lists of sources extracted from the Planck full-mission maps in intensity and polarization.

The main difference between the PCCS2 and PCCS2E is that the sources in the PCCS2 have been validated, either statistically or by using external catalogues, while the PCCS2E contains the remaining sources for which it has not been possible to estimate their reliability. By definition, the reliability of the 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%).

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 deeper completeness levels and, as a consequence, the higher number of sources compared with its predecessors the PCCS and the ERCSC, allows the extension of previous studies to more sources and to fainter flux densities.

PCCS2 in Intensity
Sky distribution of the PCCS2 intensity sources at three different channels: 30 GHz (red circles), 143 GHz (blue circles) and 857 GHz (green circles). The dimension 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 at three different channels: 30 GHz (red circles), 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 at three different channels: 30GHz (red circles), 44GHz (green circles) and 70GHz (blue circles).
Sky distribution of the PCCS2 polarization sources at three different channels: 100GHz (red circles), 143GHz (blue circles) and 217GHz (green circles) and 353 GHz (black).
PCCS2E in Polarization
Sky distribution of the PCCS2E polarization sources at three different channels: 30GHz (red circles), 44GHz (green circles) and 70GHz (blue circles).
Sky distribution of the PCCS2E polarization sources at three different channels: 100GHz (red circles), 143GHz (blue circles) and 217GHz (green circles) and 353 GHz (black).

Production process[edit]

For a description of the production and validation process of the PCCS2 see the corresponding section.

Inputs[edit]

The nine Planck 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. This implies that 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 5 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.

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 PCCS2 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 map would be labelled PCCS2 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, 2, or 3 based on the following conditions:
    3 – The source has a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues considered as ancillary data.
    2 – The source does NOT have a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues considered 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 considered 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 considered as ancillary data and it has NOT been detected by the internal multi-frequency method.
  4. Provided when the significance of the polarization measurement is > 99.99% and set to NULL otherwise.
  5. We follow the IAU/IEEE convention (Hamaker & Bregman 1996) for defining the angle of polarization of a source. The polarization angle is measured from the North Galactic Pole in a clockwise direction from -90 to 90 degrees.
  6. The PX fields are only available for the 100-353 GHz channels. All PX fields contain NULL each time a bright detection is found and the P field contains a value different from 0.
    Polarization detection status (P_STAT):
    3 – Bright. P field filled in; All PX fields set to NULL.
    2 – Significant. P field set to NULL; 0 is outside of the PX 95% HPD; All PX fields are filled.
    1 – Marginal. P field set to NULL; 0 is inside of the PX 95% HPD, but mode of PX posterior distribution is different from 0; All PX fields are filled.
    0 – No detection. P field set to NULL; mode of PX posterior distribution is 0; PX_ERRL, ANGLE_PX, ANGLE_PX_ERR_LOWER, ANGLE_PX_ERR_UPPER set to NULL.
  7. The WHICH_ZONE column encodes the zone in which the source lies. (1 – source lies inside filament mask, 2 – source lies inside galactic zone, 3 – sources lies in both filament mask and galactic zone). NOTE: this column is only present when the version keyword in the primary header is set to PCCS2_E.
  8. 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%. NOTE: this column is only present when the version keyword in the primary header is set to PCCS2.

Zone map[edit]

For each frequency channel there is an associated map which defines the quantified-reliability and unquantified-reliability zones are on the sky.

The files are called:

The structure of the files is as follows:

SZ Catalogue[edit]

The Planck SZ catalogue is constructed as described in SZ catalogue and in section 2 of [2]. 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 sections 3-6 of [2].

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 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 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 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. 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, MSZ, as calculated using a Y-M scaling relation and an assumed redshift 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 67% 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 contains 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.

Union catalogue[edit]

The union catalogue is contained in COM_PCCS_SZ-union_R1.12.fits.

Notes

  1. Format is PSZ2 Glll.ll±bb.b where (l,b) are the Galactic coordinates 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. Neural network quality flag is 1-Qbad, following the definitions in Aghanim et al. 2014.
  4. Summary of the external validation, encoding the most robust external identification: 10 = ENO follow-up; 11 = RTT follow-up; 12 = PanSTARRs; 13 = RedMAPPer non-blind; 14 = SDSS high-z; 15 = AMI; 16 = WISE; 20 = legacy identification from the PSZ1; 21 = MCXC; 22 = SPT; 23 = ACT; 24 = RedMAPPer; 30 = NED; -1 = no known external counterpart.

Notes

  1. Format PSZ1 Glll.ll±bb.bb where (l, b) are the Galactic coordinates truncated to 2 decimal places.
  2. Extension 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 extension 1. The limits are determined independently for each detection. The dimension of the 3D image is 256 × 256 × Ndet, where Ndet is the number of detections. The first dimension is θs and the second dimension is Y.
  3. Extension 3 contains a three-dimensional image with the information on the MSZ observable per cluster as a function of assumed redshift. The image dimensions are 100 × 4 × Ndet, where Ndet 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 MSZ values. The second element is the MSZ lower 68% confidence bound, the third element is the MSZ estimate and the fourth element is the MSZ upper 68% confidence bound, all in units of 1014 Msol. 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.
