=Early Release Compact-Source Catalogue

The ERCSC is a list of high reliability (>90%) sources, both Galactic and extragalactic, derived from the data acquired by Planck between August 13 2009 and June 6 2010. The ERCSC consists of:

nine lists of sources, extracted independently from each of Planck's nine frequency channels. two lists extracted using multi-channel criteria: the Early Cold Cores catalogue (ECC), consists of galactic dense and cold cores, selected mainly on the basis of their temperature the Early Sunyaev-Zeldovich catalogue (ESZ), consists of galaxy clusters selected by the spectral signature of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect.
