The LFI performance are summarized in Table 1 below. All the details can be found in the LFI data processing paper #planck2013-p02 Planck-2013-II .

Table 1. Summary of the LFI performance parameters

^{ \rm a \, } White noise per pixel computed from half-ring difference maps. Those values are within the 1% with the withe noise sensitivity computed directly on the timelines, taking in account the actual mission time minus the manoeuvres and bad-science flagged data ^{ \rm b \, } FWHM and ellipticity from scanning beam evaluated fitting Jupiter directly in the timelines. \hspace{50mm} ^{ \rm c \, } FWHM and ellipticity from effective beam evaluated as mean from different position on the sky. \hspace{42mm} ^{ \rm d \, } FWHM from effective beam evaluated as FWHM_{eff} = \sqrt{\frac{Ω}{2π}} · 2 · \sqrt{2 \log 2}, where Ω is the mean beam solid angle of the effective beam. Those are the values used in the source extraction pipeline #planck2013-p05 Planck-2013-XXVIII
