Overview[edit]

This section describes products that require special processing. Only one such product is available at this time; this section will be expanded with time as more products are added.

Lensing map[edit]

We distribute the minimum-variance (MV) lensing potential estimate presented in [1] as part of the 2014 data release. This map represents an estimate of the CMB lensing potential on approximately 70% of the sky, and also forms the basis for the Planck 2014 lensing likelihood. It is produced using filtered temperature and polarization data from the SMICA DX11 CMB map; its construction is discussed in detail in [1].


The estimate is contained in a single gzipped tarball named COM_CompMap_Lensing_2048_R0.00.tgz. Its contents are described below.


Contents of COM_CompMap_Lensing_2048_R0.00.tgz
Filename Format Description

mask.fits.gz HEALPIX FITS format map, with [math] N_{\rm side} = 2048 [/math] Contains the lens reconstruction analysis mask.
nlkk.dat ASCII text file, with columns = ([math]L[/math], [math]N_L [/math], [math]C_L+N_L[/math]) The approximate noise [math]N_L[/math] (and signal+noise, [math]C_L+N_L[/math]) power spectrum of [math] \hat{\kappa}_{LM} [/math], for the fiducial cosmology used in [1].

IRAM Maps of the Crab nebula[edit]

Maps of the Crab nebula at 89.189 GHz (HCO+(1-0) transition) in both temperature and polarization, prodouced from observations performed at the IRAM 30m telescope from January 9th to January 12th 2009, are delivered as a tarball of 416 KB in the file

File:Crab IRAM 2010.zip

See README in the tarball for full details. These data were used in[2]
