The Explanatory Supplement is a reference text accompanying the public data products which result from the European Space Agency’s Planck mission, and includes descriptions of all the products available via the Planck Legacy Archive. The Explanatory Supplement has been produced by the Planck Collaboration.

There are have been three major data releases of Planck products:

  • PR1 in 2013 (all files are identified by the label *.R1.??) ;
  • PR2 in 2015 (all files are identified by the label *.R2.??) ;
  • PR3 in 2018 (all files are identified by the label *.R3.??) .

This is the Explanatory Supplement which accompanies the 2018 release. By default, it describes all the products issued in the 2018 release. In addition, the descriptions of the 2013 and 2015 products can also be found within this Explanatory Supplement, at the end of each section under the heading Previous Releases. Generally speaking, pages describing the 2018 releases have a white background; pages describing previous generations of products have a different color background: salmon for 2015, and green for 2013.

Note that not all the products issued in 2015 have been updated in the 2018 release. The Planck Legacy Archive presents by default the latest ("legacy") version of a product to the user; this latest version is mostly from 2018, but in some cases could be from 2015.

The Index of the Explanatory Supplement is listed below; the Index and individual section headings can also be accessed directly via the menu bar at the left of this page.
