Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources[edit]
Product description[edit]
A general description of the product, including e.g. figures related to the contents (e.g. maps, tables), and some explanation of its scientific meaning. If there are scientific warnings about the use of the product (User’s caveats), they should also be given here, or at least references to other explanatory documents (papers etc).
The Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS) comprises a set of nine single-frequency source catalogues. The catalogues contain high-reliability sources, both Galactic and extragalactic, detected over the entire sky, making use of the nominal mission data. No polarization information is provided for the sources at this time. The PCCS differs in philosophy from the ERCSC in that it puts more emphasis on the completeness of the catalogue, with-out reducing notably the reliability of the detected sources. The greater amount of data, different selection process and the improvements in the calibration and map-making processing (#planck2013-p02,#planck2013-p03 and references therein) help the PCCS to improve upon the performance of the ERCSC.

Before using the PCCS, please read the Cautionary Notes in the PCCS general description section.

Production process[edit]
For a description of the production and validation processes of the PCCS see the corresponding section.
Inputs[edit]
The data obtained from the Planck nominal mission between 2009 August 13 and 2010 November 27, corresponding to operational days 91--636, have been processed into full-sky maps by the HFI and LFI Data Processing Centres (DPCs). A description of the processing can be found in #planck2013-p02,#planck2013-p03. The data consist of two complete sky surveys and 60% of the third survey. This implies that the flux densities of sources obtained from the nominal mission maps are the average of at least two observations. The nine Planck frequency channel maps are used as input to the source detection pipelines. For the high-frequency channels, 353, 545 and 857 GHz, the model of the Zodiacal Light Emission (ZLE) (?) has been subtracted from the maps before detecting the sources. The relevant properties of the frequency maps and main parameters used to generate the catalogues are summarized in Table 1.
A list (and brief description to the extent possible) of the input data used to generate this product (down to file names), as well as any external ancillary data sets which were used.
To be reviewed and compiled by Joaquin/Mark.
Related products[edit]
A description of other products that are related and share some commonalities with the product being described here. E.g. if the description is of a generic product (e.g. frequency maps), all the products falling into that type should be listed and referenced.

Meta Data[edit]
The PCCS source list in each frequency is structured as a FITS binary table having one row for each detected source.
The FITS primary header will have the following structure:
FITS Keyword | Data Type | Units | Description |
---|---|---|---|
INSTRUME | String | LFI or HFI | |
VERSION | String | Version of PCCS | |
DATE | String | Date file created:yyyy-mm-dd | |

TELESCOP | String | PLANCK | |
CREATOR | String | Pipeline Version | |
DATE-OBS | String | days | Start-up time of the survey: yyyy-mm-dd |
DATE-END | String | days | Ending time of the survey: yyyy-mm-dd |

Note 1.- Source name designations consist of a prefix and a positional qualifier, the latter is in Galactic coordinates and specified as "Glll.ll±bb.bb" where the (l,b) values are truncated. The prefix used in the single band portion of the PCCS is PLCK1 ddd PCCS catalogue at ddd GHz.
For example, a source detected at (l,b) = (120.237, 4.231) in the 545 GHz Planck map would be labelled PLCK545 G120.23±04.23.
Note 2.- The EXTENDED flag has the value of 0 if the source is compact and the value of 1 is it extended. The source size is determined by the geometric mean of the Gaussian fit FWHMs, with the criteria for extension being sqrt(GAU_FWHMMAJ * GAU_FWHMIN) > 1.5 times the beam FWHM.
Note 3.- The EXT_VAL flag has the value of 0, 1, or 2, based on the following conditions:
- 2 – The source has a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues considered as ancillary data.
- 1 – The source has NOT a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues considered as ancillary data but it has been detected by the internal multi-frequency method.
- 0 – The source has NOT a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues considered as ancillary data and it has NOT been detected by the internal multi-frequency method.
Note 4.- The x axis is defined for each source as parallel to the constant colatitude line, with the same direction as the longitude. Therefore the position angles are measured anticlockwise from the x axis.
