Planck Explanatory Supplement (Public Release 1)

IMPORTANT WARNING: 11/04/2013 20:10 CET: Due to maintenance operations the links to Planck papers are temporarily broken. We expect the situation to be back to normal soon.


If you are new to the Explanatory Supplement we prepared a page with Questions and Answers to help you make the most efficient use of this document and the data.

Other versions of the ES: We provide a pdf version of the ES but you should be aware there are some limitations. Some figures in the online version do not appear in the pdf version and the references you can see in most pages will not appear in the pdf file.

Planck 2013 papers: A complete list of the Planck 2013 papers can be found here.
