The Explanatory Supplement produced by the Planck Collaboration is a reference text accompanying the public data delivered from the operations of the European Space Agency’s Planck satellite during its mission, and includes descriptions of all the products. The descriptions from the 2013 and 2015 products can be found under Previous Releases at the end of each subsection. Not all the products will be updated in the 2018 release, in which case the description of the product corresponds to the last version. There are three data releases of Planck products:

  • PR1 in 2013 (*.R1.??)
  • PR2 in 2015 (*.R2.??)
  • PR3 in 2018 (*.R3.??)
