We distribute the minimum-variance (MV) lensing potential estimate presented in {{PlanckPapers|planck2014-a17}} 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 {{PlanckPapers|planck2014-a11}}.
  
The fiducial Planck lensing potential map is made from a minimum variance combination of the 143 and 217GHz Planck maps on approximately 70% of the sky, using 857GHz as a dust template. This is the same lens reconstruction on which the Planck lensing likelihood is based. It is distributed in FITS format. The headers of this file are copied at the bottom of this page.
 
  
We distribute:

The estimate is contained in a single gzipped tarball named  ''{{PLASingleFile|fileType=map|name=COM_CompMap_Lensing_2048_R2.00.tgz|link=COM_CompMap_Lensing_2048_R2.00.tgz}}''. Its contents are described below. The convergence map "dat_klm.fits" that can be found in the tarball, has been categorized as COM_Lensing-Convergence-dat-klm_2048_R2.00.fits in the Lensing Products section of the archive.
  
; PHIBAR : A (transfer-function convolved) map of the lensing potential, in NSIDE 2048 HEALPix RING format. It is obtained by convolving the lensing potential estimate \hat{\phi} with the lensing response function $R_L^{\phi\phi}$. The construction of these quantities are described in detail in Sec. 2.1 of $\fixme{P12_Lensing}$. This map has been band-limited between multipoles $10 \le L \le 2048$. The response function $R_L^{\phi\phi}$ here is analogous to the the beam transfer function in a CMB temperature or polarization map. We have chosen to distribute this transfer-function convolved map rather than the normalized lens reconstruction as it is a significantly more localized function of the CMB temperature map from which it is derived. This is discussed further in Appendix A of P12_Lensing.
 
; MASK : This is a NSIDE 2048 HEALPix RING format map, containing the analysis mask used in the lens reconstruction.
 
; RLPP : This column contains the response function $R_L^{\phi\phi}$.
 
; NLPP : This column contains a sky-averaged estimate of the noise power spectrum of PHIBAR. The noise is highly coloured. Note that there is some dependence of the noise power spectrum with the local noise level of the map. Note that the noise power spectrum estimate here is not sufficiently accurate for a power spectrum analysis.

We distribute here the Planck full mission Compton parameter maps (<i>y</i>-maps hereafter) obtained using the NILC and MILCA component-separation algorithms as described in {{PlanckPapers|planck2014-a28}}. We also provide the ILC weights per scale and per frequency that were used to produce these <i>y</i>-maps. IDL routines are also provided to allow the user to apply those weights. Compton parameters produced by keeping either the first or the second half of stable pointing periods are also provided; we call these the FIRST and LAST <i>y</i>-maps. Additionally we construct noise estimates of full mission Planck <i>y</i>-maps from the half difference of the FIRST and LAST <i>y</i>-maps. These estimates are used to construct standard deviation maps of the noise in the full mission Planck <i>y</i>-maps, which are also provided. To complement this we also provide the power spectra of the noise estimate maps after correcting for inhomogeneities using the standard deviation maps. We also deliver foreground masks including point-source and Galactic masks.

We distribute the lensing-induced <i>B</i>-mode map presented in {{PlanckPapers|planck2015-XLI}}. The lensing <i>B</i>-mode Stokes parameter maps are produced by combining the lensing potential reconstruction from the SMICA CMB temperature map with <i>E</i>-mode data from the SMICA CMB polarization maps. The SMICA temperature and polarization products are described in {{PlanckPapers|planck2014-a11}}. The lensing-induced <i>B</i>-mode polarization maps are used in cross-correlation with the SMICA CMB polarization maps to obtain a lensing <i>B</i>-mode power spectrum measurement from approximately 70% of the sky, as described in {{PlanckPapers|planck2015-XLI}}.

Introduction[edit]

This section describes the map-based products that required special processing.

2015 lensing map[edit]

We distribute the minimum-variance (MV) lensing potential estimate presented in Planck-2015-A15[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 Planck-2015-A09[2].


The estimate is contained in a single gzipped tarball named COM_CompMap_Lensing_2048_R2.00.tgz. Its contents are described below. The convergence map "dat_klm.fits" that can be found in the tarball, has been categorized as COM_Lensing-Convergence-dat-klm_2048_R2.00.fits in the Lensing Products section of the archive.

2015 Compton y parameter map[edit]

We distribute here the Planck full mission Compton parameter maps (y-maps hereafter) obtained using the NILC and MILCA component-separation algorithms as described in Planck-2015-A22[4]. We also provide the ILC weights per scale and per frequency that were used to produce these y-maps. IDL routines are also provided to allow the user to apply those weights. Compton parameters produced by keeping either the first or the second half of stable pointing periods are also provided; we call these the FIRST and LAST y-maps. Additionally we construct noise estimates of full mission Planck y-maps from the half difference of the FIRST and LAST y-maps. These estimates are used to construct standard deviation maps of the noise in the full mission Planck y-maps, which are also provided. To complement this we also provide the power spectra of the noise estimate maps after correcting for inhomogeneities using the standard deviation maps. We also deliver foreground masks including point-source and Galactic masks.

The full data set is contained in a single gzipped tarball named COM_CompMap_YSZ_R2.00.fits.tgz. Its contents are described below. Temporarily the tarball file can be found in the Supplement Data area of the PLA (go to pla.esac.esa.int/pla, go to Subsection Supplementary Data and type "YSZ" in the search form)

2015 lensing-induced B-mode map[edit]

We distribute the lensing-induced B-mode map presented in Planck-2015-XLI[5]. The lensing B-mode Stokes parameter maps are produced by combining the lensing potential reconstruction from the SMICA CMB temperature map with E-mode data from the SMICA CMB polarization maps. The SMICA temperature and polarization products are described in Planck-2015-A09[2]. The lensing-induced B-mode polarization maps are used in cross-correlation with the SMICA CMB polarization maps to obtain a lensing B-mode power spectrum measurement from approximately 70% of the sky, as described in Planck-2015-XLI[5].

We provide both raw products, which can be utilized to generate products adapted to one's specific needs in term of mask, filtering, etc., and "ready-to-use" products for cross-correlation study purposes.

Raw products[edit]

We deliver the non-normalized lensing-induced Stokes parameter maps, labelled [math] \bar{Q}^{\rm{lens}} [/math] and [math] \bar{U}^{\rm{lens}} [/math], which form the basis of the final lensing B-mode estimator defined in equation (6) of Planck-2015-XLI[5]. They are defined as

[math] \begin{eqnarray} \bar Q^{\rm{lens}}({\bf n}) &=& \widetilde Q^{E}({\bf n}) \cdot \nabla \widetilde \phi({\bf n}), \\ \bar U^{\rm{lens}}({\bf n}) &=& \widetilde U^{E}({\bf n}) \cdot \nabla \widetilde \phi({\bf n}), \end{eqnarray} [/math]

where [math] \widetilde Q^{E} [/math] and [math] \widetilde U^{E} [/math] are the filtered pure E-mode polarization maps given in equation (5) of Planck-2015-XLI[5], and [math] \widetilde \phi[/math] is the filtered lensing potential estimate.

We also provide the normalization transfer function [math] \mathcal{B}_\ell [/math] defined in equation (11) of Planck-2015-XLI[5], as well as the "L70" mask [math] M({\bf n}) [/math] that retains 69% of the sky before apodization, and its apodized version [math] \tilde{M}({\bf n}) [/math], which has an effective sky fraction [math] f_{\rm{sky}}^{\rm{eff}} = 65\% [/math].

As an example of the utilization of these products, the lensing B-mode maps that are shown in figure 4 of Planck-2015-XLI[5] are generated from

[math] Q^{\rm{lens}} \pm i U^{\rm{lens}} = \sum_{\ell m} \left( G_\ell \mathcal{B}_\ell^{-1} \int d{\bf n} {\, }_{\pm 2}Y_{\ell m}^*({\bf n}) \left(\bar{Q}^{\rm{lens}} \pm i \bar{U}^{\rm{lens}} \right) \right) {\, }_{\pm 2}Y_{\ell m}({\bf n}) [/math],

where [math]G_\ell[/math] is a Gaussian of 60 arcmin FWHM (introduced for highlighting large angular scales, although it can be removed or replaced by any other filter). This can be practically done by ingesting [math]\bar{Q}^{\rm{lens}} [/math] and [math] \bar{U}^{\rm{lens}} [/math] in the HEALPix "smoothing" routine, and using the product [math] G_\ell\mathcal{B}_\ell^{-1} [/math] as an input filtering function.

Specific products[edit]

We provide the lensing B-mode spherical harmonic coefficient estimate [math] B_{\ell m}^{\rm{lens}} [/math] over approximately 70% of the sky.

It can also be constructed using the raw products described above from

[math] B_{\ell m}^{\rm{lens}} = f_{10 \rightarrow 2000} \, \mathcal{B}_\ell^{-1} \, \, {\, }_{\pm 2}\mathcal{Y} \left[ \tilde{M}({\bf n}) \left( \bar{Q}^{\rm{lens}}({\bf n}) \pm i \bar{U}^{\rm{lens}}({\bf n}) \right) \right] [/math],

where [math] f_{10 \rightarrow 2000} [/math] is a function for producing band-powers over the range [math] 10 \le \ell \le 2000 [/math], and [math] {\, }_{\pm2}\mathcal{Y} [/math] is a short-hand notation for transforming a map into spin-weighted spherical harmonic coefficients [math] {\, }_{+2}a_{\ell m}[/math], [math]{\, }_{-2}a_{\ell m} [/math] and forming [math]1/(2i)\left({\, }_{+2}a_{\ell m} - {\, }_{-2}a_{\ell m}\right)[/math]. This can be done using, e.g., the HEALPix "anafast" tool.

The lensing B-mode power spectrum estimate [math] \hat{C}_\ell^{BB^{\rm{lens}}} [/math] discussed in Planck-2015-XLI[5] is obtained by forming the cross-correlation power spectrum of [math] B_{\ell m}^{\rm{lens}} [/math] and the B-mode data from the SMICA polarization maps [math] B_{\ell m} [/math]:

[math] \hat{C}_\ell^{BB^{\rm{lens}}} = \frac{\left(f_{\rm{sky}}^{\rm{eff}}\right)^{-1}}{2 \ell +1} G_\ell^{-2} \sum_m B_{\ell m}^* B_{\ell m}^{\rm{lens}}[/math],

where [math] G_\ell [/math] is the 5 arcmin Gaussian beam that convolves the SMICA CMB maps.


The products are contained in a single gzipped tarball named COM_Lensing-Bmode_R2.00.tgz. Its contents are described below.

2015 Integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect map[edit]

We distribute estimates of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) maps presented in Planck-2015-A21[6] as part of the 2015 data release. These map represents an estimate of the ISW anisotropies using different data sets:

  • SEVEM DX11 CMB map, together with all the large-scale structure tracers considered in the ISW paper, namely: NVSS, SDSS, WISE, and the Planck lensing map
  • Using only the large-scale structure tracers mentioned above
  • SEVEM DX11 CMB map, together with NVSS and the Planck lensing maps (since these two tracers capture most of the information, as compared to SDSS and WISE)


For all the three cases, the reconstruction is provided on approximately 85% of the sky, and they are produced using the LCB filter described in the Planck ISW paper (Section 5), described in detail in Barreiro et al. 2008 and Bonavera et al. 2016.

These ISW maps, together with their corresponding uncertainties maps and masks, are given in a file named COM_CompMap_ISW_0064_R2.00.fits. Its contents are described below.
