The second Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS2) is a set of single-frequency source catalogues extracted from the Planck full-mission maps in intensity and polarization (LFI_SkyMap_0??_1024_R2.01_full.fits and HFI_SkyMap_???_2048_R2.00_full.fits). The catalogues have been constructed as described in  [[Compact_Source_catalogues#Planck_Catalogue_of_Compact_Sources|PCCS]] and in section 2 of {{PlanckPapers|planck2014-a35}}. The validation of the catalogues is described in section 3 of {{PlanckPapers|planck2014-a35}}.

The PCCS is a set of nine single-frequencies lists of sources extracted from the Planck nominal mission data. By definition its reliability is > 80% and a special effort was made to use simple selection procedures in order to facilitate statistical analyses. With a common detection method for all the channels and the additional three photometries, spectral analysis can also be done safely. The deeper completeness levels and, as a consequence, the higher number of sources compared with its predecessor the ERCSC, will allow the extension of previous studies to more sources and to fainter flux densities. The PCCS is the natural evolution of the ERCSC, but both lack polarization and multi-frequency information. Future releases will take advantage of the full mission data and they will contain information on properties of sources not available in this release, such as polarization, multi-frequency and variability.
+
The catalogue at 100 GHz and above has been divided into two sub-catalogues: the PCCS2, here the sources have been detected in regions of the sky where it is possible to estimate the reliability of the detections, either statistically or by using external catalogues; PCCS2, here the detected sources are located in regions of the sky where it is not possible to make an estimate of their reliability.  
 +
 
 +
By definition, the reliability of the whole  PCCS2 is ≥ 80%, and a flag is available that allows the user to select a subsample of sources with a higher level of reliability (e.g., 90% or 95%).
 +
 
 +
The nine Planck full-mission frequency channel maps are used as input to the source detection pipelines. They contain 48 months of data for LFI channels and 29 months of data for HFI channels. Therefore the flux densities of sources obtained from the full-mission maps are the average of at least 8 observations for LFI channels or at least 4 observations for HFI channels. The relevant properties of the frequency maps and main parameters used to generate the catalogues are summarized in Tables 1 and 2.
 +
 
 +
Four different photometry methods have been used. For one of the methods, the native photometry from the Mexican hat wavelet detection algorithm, the analysis is performed on patches containing tangent plane projections of the map. For the other methods (aperture photometry, point spread function fitting, and Gaussian fitting), the analysis is performed directly on the full-sky maps.

The analysis in polarization has been performed in a non-blind fashion, looking at the position of the sources previously detected in intensity. As a result, polarization flux densities and polarization angles have been measured for hundreds of sources with a significance >99.99%. This high threshold in significance has been chosen to minimize the possibility of misinterpreting a peak of the polarized background as a source. This implies that, in general, most of the polarized sources are very bright, introducing an additional selection effect.

The data obtained from the Planck nominal mission between (2009 August 12 and 2010 November 27) 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 <cite>#planck2013-p02,#planck2013-p03</cite> {{P2013|2}} {{P2013|6}}. 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. The relevant properties of the frequency maps and main parameters used to generate the catalogues are summarized in Table 1.

# Format is <tt>PCCS2 fff Glll.ll&plusmn;bb.bb</tt> for sources in the PCCS2 and <tt>PCCS2E fff Glll.ll&plusmn;bb.bb</tt> for sources in the PCCS2E, where fff is the frequency channel and (l, b) is the position of the source in Galactic coordinates truncated to two decimal places.
 +
# We follow the IAU/IEEE convention (Hamaker & Bregman 1996) for defining the angle of polarization of a source, and this convention is also used for the other angles in the catalogue. The angle is measured from the North Galactic Pole in a clockwise direction from -90 to 90 degrees.
 +
# Provided when the significance of the polarization measurement is > 99.99% and set to NULL otherwise.
 +
# The P_STAT flag gives the status of the marginal polarization detection, possible values are:
 +
#: 3 &ndash; Bright: P field filled in; all PX fields set to NULL.
 +
#: 2 &ndash; Significant: P field is set to NULL; 0 is outside the PX 95% HPD; all PX fields are filled.
 +
#: 1 &ndash; Marginal: P field is set to NULL; 0 is inside the PX 95% HPD, but mode of PX posterior distribution is not 0; all PX fields are filled.
 +
#: 0 &ndash; No detection: P field is set to NULL; mode of PX posterior distribution is 0; PX_ERRL, ANGLE_PX, ANGLE_PX_ERR_LOWER, and ANGLE_PX_ERR_UPPER are set to NULL.
 +
# 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 criterion for extension being sqrt(GAU_FWHMMAJ * GAU_FWHMIN) > 1.5 times the beam FWHM.
 +
# The EXT_VAL flag gives the status of the external validation, possible values are:
 +
#: 3 &ndash; The source has a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues used as ancillary data.
 +
#: 2 &ndash; The source does not have a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues used as ancillary data but it has been detected by the internal multi-frequency method.
 +
#: 1 &ndash; The source does not have a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues used as ancillary data and it has not been detected by the internal multi-frequency method, but it has been detected in a previous Planck source catalogue.
 +
#: 0 &ndash; The source does not have a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues used as ancillary data and it has not been detected by the internal multi-frequency method.
 +
# The HIGHEST_RELIABILTY_CAT column contains the highest reliability catalogue to which the source belongs. As the full catalogue reliability is &ge; 80%, this is the lowest possible value in this column. Where possible this is provided in steps of 1% otherwise it is in steps of 5%.
 +
# The WHICH_ZONE column encodes the zone in which the source lies:
 +
#: 1 &ndash; source lies inside filament mask.
 +
#: 2 &ndash; source lies inside Galactic zone.
 +
#: 3 &ndash; sources lies in both filament mask and Galactic zone.

# Source names consist of a prefix and a position. The prefix used is PCCS1 fff for the catalogue at fff GHz. The position is in Galactic coordinates and specified as "Glll.ll±bb.bb" where the (l,b) values are truncated to two decimal places. For example, a source detected at (l,b) = (120.237, 4.231) in the 545 GHz Planck map would be labelled PCCS1 545 G120.23±04.23.
+
# This FITS extension contains an integer HEALPix map which encodes the information on which of 4 possible regions on the sky each pixel belongs to:
−
# 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.
+
#: 0 &ndash; quantified-reliability zone (PCCS2).
−
# The EXT_VAL flag takes the value of 0, 1, or 2, based on the following conditions:
+
#: 1 &ndash; filament mask.
−
#: = 2: The source has a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues considered as ancillary data.
+
#: 2 &ndash; Galactic zone.
−
#: = 1: The source has no clear counterpart in one of the ancillary catalogues but it has been detected by the internal multi-frequency method (LFI channels) or match with neighbouring frequencies, above or below (HFI channels).
+
#: 3 &ndash; filament mask and Galactic zone.
−
#: = 0: The source has no clear counterpart in one of the ancillary catalogues and it has not been detected by the internal multi-frequency method or neighbouring frequencies.
 
−
# The x-axis is defined for each source as parallel to the line of constant colatitude, with the same direction as the longitude. Therefore the position angles are measured anticlockwise from the y-axis.

== The SZ catalogues ==

For each HFI frequency channel there are a number of maps which contains the S/N threshold used to accept sources into the PCCS2 and PCCS2E catalogues.

The Planck SZ catalogue is constructed as described in [[Compact_Source_catalogues#Planck_Sunyaev-Zeldovich_catalogue|SZ catalogue]] and in section 2 of <cite>#planck2013-p05a</cite> {{P2013|29}}.
+
For the full catalogue (80% reliability in the quantified reliability zone) they are:
  
−
Three pipelines are used to detect SZ clusters: two independent implementations of the Matched Multi-Filter (MMF1 and MMF3), and PowellSnakes (PwS). The main catalogue is constructed as the union of the catalogues from the three detection methods. The individual catalogues are provided for the expert user in order to assess the consistency of the pipelines. The completeness and reliability of the catalogues have been assessed through internal and external validation as described in sections 3-6 of <cite>#planck2013-p05a</cite> {{P2013|29}}.

The size of a detection is given in terms of the scale size, $\theta_\mathrm{s}$, and the flux is given in terms of the total integrated Comptonization parameter, $Y = Y_{5r_{500}}$. The parameters of the GNFW profile assumed by the detection pipelines is written in the headers in the catalogues. For the sake of convenience, the conversion factor from $Y$ to $Y_{500}$ is also written in the header.
+
For 90% reliability they are:
  
−
The full information on the degeneracy between $\theta_\mathrm{s}$ and $Y$ is included in the individual catalogues in the form of the two-dimensional probability distribution for each detection. It is computed on a well-sampled grid to produce a two-dimensional image for each detection. The degeneracy information is provided in this form so it can be combined with a model or external data to produce tighter constraints on the parameters.

== (2015) Second SZ Catalogue ==
 +
 
 +
The Planck SZ catalogue is constructed as described in [[Compact_Source_catalogues#Planck_Sunyaev-Zeldovich_catalogue|SZ catalogue]] and in sections 2 and 3 of {{PlanckPapers|planck2014-a36}}. Three pipelines are used to detect SZ clusters: two independent implementations of the Matched Multi-Filter (MMF1 and MMF3), and PowellSnakes (PwS). The main catalogue is constructed as the union of the catalogues from the three detection methods. The completeness and reliability of the catalogues have been assessed through internal and external validation as described in section 4 of {{PlanckPapers|planck2014-a36}}.
 +
 
 +
The size of a detection is given in terms of the scale size, &theta;<sub>s</sub>, and the flux is given in terms of the total integrated Comptonization parameter, Y = Y<sub>5R500</sub>. The parameters of the GNFW profile assumed by the detection pipelines are written in the headers of the catalogues. For the sake of convenience, the conversion factor from Y to Y<sub>500</sub> is also provided in the header.
 +
 
 +
The union catalogue contains the coordinates of a detection, its signal-to-noise ratio, an estimate of Y and its uncertainty, together with a summary of the validation information, including external identification of a cluster and its redshift if they are available. The pipeline from which the information is taken is called the reference pipeline. If more than one pipeline makes the same detection, the information is taken from the the pipeline that makes the most significant detection. Where the redshift is known, we provide the SZ mass for the reference pipeline.
 +
 
 +
The individual catalogues contain the coordinates and the signal-to-noise ratio of the detections, and information on the size and flux of the detections. The entries are cross-referenced to the detections in the union catalogue. The full information on the degeneracy between &theta;<sub>s</sub> and Y is included in the individual catalogues in the form of the two-dimensional probability distribution for each detection. It is computed on a well-sampled grid to produce a two-dimensional image for each detection. It is provided in this form so it can be combined with a model or external data to produce tighter constraints on the parameters. The individual catalogues also contain Planck measurements of the SZ mass observable, M<sub>SZ</sub>, as calculated using a Y-M scaling relation and an assumed redshift to break the Y-&theta;<sub>s</sub> degeneracy.  These are provided for each detection as functions of assumed redshift, in the range 0.01 < z < 1, along with the upper and lower 68% confidence limits.
 +
 
 +
The selection function of the union catalogue, the intersection catalogue and the individual catalogues are provided in additional files. The selection function files contains the probability of detection for clusters of given intrinsic parameters &theta;<sub>500</sub> and Y<sub>500</sub>.  The file includes the definition of the survey area in the form of a HEALPix mask, and is evaluated for a range of signal-to-noise thresholds between 4.5 and 10.

# Extension 3 contains a three-dimensional image with the information on the M<sub>SZ</sub> observable per cluster as a function of assumed redshift. The image dimensions are 100 &times; 4 &times; N<sub>det</sub>, where N<sub>det</sub> is the number of detections. The first dimension is the assumed redshift. The second dimension has size 4: the first element is the assumed redshift value corresponding to the M<sub>SZ</sub> values. The second element is the M<sub>SZ</sub> lower 68% confidence bound, the third element is the M<sub>SZ</sub> estimate and the fourth element is the M<sub>SZ</sub> upper 68% confidence bound, all in units of 10<sup>14</sup>&nbsp;M<sub>sol</sub>. These uncertainties are based on the Planck measurement uncertainties only. Not included in the error estimates are the statistical errors on the scaling relation, the intrinsic scatter in the relation, or systematic errors in data selection for the scaling relation fit.

== (2015) Planck Catalogue of Galactic Cold Clumps==
 +
 
 +
The Planck Catalogue of Galactic Cold Clumps (PGCC) is a list of 13188 Galactic sources and 54 sources located in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. The sources have been identified in Planck data as sources colder than their environment. It has been buit using the 48 months Planck data at 857, 545, and 353 GHz combined with the 3 THz IRAS data, as it is described in {{PlanckPapers | planck2014-a37}}.
 +
 
 +
The all-sky distribution of the PGCC sources is shown below on top of the 857 GHz emission shown in logarithmic scale between 10<sup>-2</sup> to 10<sup>2</sup> MJy/sr.
 +
[[File:PGCC_allsky.png|800px|thumb|center|All-sky distribution of the PGCC sources.]]
 +
 
 +
Sources are divided into three categories based on the reliability of the flux density estimates in IRAS 3 THz and Planck 857, 545, and 353 GHz bands.
 +
* FLUX_QUALITY=1 : sources with flux density estimates S/N > 1 in all bands ;
 +
* FLUX_QUALITY=2 : sources with flux density estimates S/N > 1 only in 857, 545, and 353 GHz Planck bands, considered as very cold source candidates ;
 +
* FLUX_QUALITY=3 : sources without any reliable flux density estimates, listed as poor candidates.
 +
The all-sky distributions of the PGCC sources per FLUX_QUALITY category are shown below on top of the 857 GHz map in grey scale shown in logarithmic scale between 10<sup>-2</sup> to 10<sup>2</sup> MJy/sr.
 +
[[File:PGCC_allsky_FQ1.png|800px|thumb|center|All-sky distribution of the PGCC sources with FLUX_QUALITY=1.]]
 +
[[File:PGCC_allsky_FQ2.png|800px|thumb|center|All-sky distribution of the PGCC sources with FLUX_QUALITY=2.]]
 +
[[File:PGCC_allsky_FQ3.png|800px|thumb|center|All-sky distribution of the PGCC sources with FLUX_QUALITY=3.]]
 +
 
 +
Distance estimates have been obtained on 5574 PGCC sources using seven different methods/technics, as described in {{PlanckPapers | planck2014-a37}}. A flag is raised to quantify the quality of the distance estimates, defined as follows:
 +
* DIST_QUALITY=0 : No distance estimate ;
 +
* DIST_QUALITY=1 : Single distance estimate ;
 +
* DIST_QUALITY=2 : Multiple distance estimates which are consistent within 1<math>\sigma</math> ;
 +
* DIST_QUALITY=3 : Multiple distance estimates which are not consistent within 1<math>\sigma</math> ;
 +
* DIST_QUALITY=4 : Single upper limits.
 +
The all-sky distribution of the sources with robust distance estimates is shown below.
 +
[[File:PGCC_allsky_DIST.png|800px|thumb|center|All-sky distribution of the  4655 PGCC sources for which a distance estimate with a DIST_QUALITY flag equal to 1 or 2 is available. The various types of distance estimates are defined as follows : kinematic (purple), optical extinction (blue), near-infrared extinction (green), molecular complex association (orange), and Herschel HKP-GCC (red). We also show the distribution of  the 664 sources with an upper-limit estimate  (DIST_QUALITY=4) provided by the near-infrared extinction method (light green). Molecular complexes are outlined with black contours.]]

* 1: The position angle of the 2D ellipse is defined as the angle between the axis parallele to the Galactic plane and the major axis, counted clockwise.
 +
* 2: The warm bakcground flux densities are computed using the same solid angle as for the clumps flux densities, but on the warm conponent map.
 +
* 3: See text above for a full description of the FLUX_QUALITY flag, for which 1 is best.
 +
* 4: This relative bias due to blending provides a rough estimate of the factor that should be applied on the clumpds flux densities to get a corrected estimate. It has been obtained on a very simple modelling of clumps morphology and the local environment. It has therefore to be taken very carefully.
 +
* 5: See text above for a full description of the DIST_QUALITY flag.

The Plank Early Release Compact Source Catalogue was the first Planck product to be publicly released in Jan 2011. It was produced with a very rapid turnaround to facilitate follow-up observations with existing  c ryogenic observatories such as Herschel. It contained a list of all high reliability sources, both Galactic and extragalactic, that were derived from the first all sky coverage by Planck. i.e., using observations obtained from 12 August 2009 to 6 June 2010. Thus the full sky was covered once, and ~60% of the sky was covered twice. The goals were to achieve a photometric accuracy of 30% and a positional accuracy  1/5 of the beam FWHM in the RMS sense.

==(2015) Planck List of high-redshift source candidates==
  
−
The ERCSC consisted of nine source lists, one at each of the nine Planck frequency channels. The number of sources in the lists range from 705 at 30 GHz to 8988 at 857 GHz. No attempt was made to cross-match the sources from the different frequencies due to the wide range of spatial resolutions (33 arcmin at 30 GHz to 4.3 arcmin at 857 GHz) spanned by Planck. Furthermore, a list of ''Cold Cores'' of interstellar molecular clouds within the Galaxy and a list of galaxy clusters detected through the Sunyaev- Zel’dovich effect (SZ), were also provided. These consisted of candidate sources that were detected using multifrequency algorithms that use the distinct spectral signature of such sources. The Cold Cores catalogue contained 915 sources while the SZ cluster catalogue consisted of 189 sources

The Planck list of high-redshift source candidates (PHZ) is a list of 2151 sources located in the cleanest 26% of the sky and identified as point sources

exhibiting an excess in the submillimeter compared to their environment. It has been built using the 48 months Planck data at 857, 545, 353 and 217 GHz combined with the 3 THz IRAS data, as it is described in {{PlanckPapers | planck2015-XXXIX}}. These sources are considered as high-z source candidates (z>1.5-2), given the very low contamination by Galactic cirrus, and their typical colour-colour ratio. A subsample of the PHZ list has already been followed-up with Herschel, and chararcterized as overdensities of red galaxies for more than 93% of the population, and as strongly lensed galaxies in 3% of the cases, as detailed in  {{PlanckPapers | planck2014-XXVIII}}.

In order to generate the ERCSC,  four source detection algorithms were run as part of the ERCSC pipeline. A Monte-Carlo algorithm based on the injection and extraction of artificial sources into the Planck maps was implemented to select reliable sources among all extracted candidates such that the cumulative reliability of the catalogue is >90%. Reliability is defined as the fraction of sources in the catalog which have measured flux densities which are within 30% of their true flux density. There is no requirement on completeness for the ERCSC. As a result of the Monte-Carlo assessment of reliability of sources from the different techniques, an implementation of the PowellSnakes source extraction technique was used at the five frequencies between 30 and 143 GHz while the SExtractor technique was used between 217 and 857 GHz. The 10σ photometric flux density limit of the catalogue at $|b| > 30$ deg is 0.49, 1.0, 0.67, 0.5, 0.33, 0.28, 0.25, 0.47 and 0.82 Jy at each of the nine frequencies between 30 and 857GHz. Sources which are up to a factor of ~2 fainter than this limit, and which are present in "clean" regions of the Galaxy where the sky background due to emission from the interstellar medium is low, are included in the ERCSC if they meet the high reliability criterion.  The sensitivity of the ERCSC is shown in the figure below. The ERCSC sources have known associations to stars with dust shells, stellar cores, radio galaxies, blazars, infrared luminous galaxies and Galactic interstellar medium features. A significant fraction of unclassified sources are also present in the catalogs.  
+
The all-sky distribution of the PHZ sources is shown below on orthographic projection.

The multifrequency information from Planck allows some basic classification of the sources to be undertaken. In the Galactic plane, at frequencies below 100 GHz, the majority of the sources are dominated by synchrotron or free-free emission. At the higher frequencies, the sources are almost exclusively dominated by thermal dust emission. At high Galactic latitudes however, the synchrotron sources  dominate the source counts to 217 GHz with dusty sources being the primary source population at 353 GHz and higher. Recent attempts to classify a subset of the Planck 857 GHz sources at high latitudes based on cross-correlations with sources in other catalogs such as WISE and SDSS, found that almost half of them are associated with stars and low-redshift galaxies while a significant fraction (44%) might be interstellar medium features

The figure shows the ERCSC flux density limits, quanitfied as the faintest ERCSC source at |b|<10 deg (dashed black line) and at |b|>30 deg (solid black line), compared to those of other wide area surveys (<cite>#planck2011-1-10</cite> {{PEarly|7}}). Also shown are spectra of known sources of foreground emission as red lines. The ERCSC sensitivity is worse in the Galactic plane due to the strong contribution of ISM emission, especially at submillimeter wavelengths. At face value, the WMAP and Planck flux density limits appear to be comparable at the lowest frequencies, but the Planck ERCSC is much more complete as discussed in <cite>#planck2011-1-10</cite> {{PEarly|7}}.

(2015) Second Catalogue of Compact Sources[edit]

The second Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS2) is a set of single-frequency source catalogues extracted from the Planck full-mission maps in intensity and polarization (LFI_SkyMap_0??_1024_R2.01_full.fits and HFI_SkyMap_???_2048_R2.00_full.fits). The catalogues have been constructed as described in PCCS and in section 2 of Planck-2015-A26[1]. The validation of the catalogues is described in section 3 of Planck-2015-A26[1].

The catalogue at 100 GHz and above has been divided into two sub-catalogues: the PCCS2, here the sources have been detected in regions of the sky where it is possible to estimate the reliability of the detections, either statistically or by using external catalogues; PCCS2, here the detected sources are located in regions of the sky where it is not possible to make an estimate of their reliability.

By definition, the reliability of the whole PCCS2 is ≥ 80%, and a flag is available that allows the user to select a subsample of sources with a higher level of reliability (e.g., 90% or 95%).

The nine Planck full-mission frequency channel maps are used as input to the source detection pipelines. They contain 48 months of data for LFI channels and 29 months of data for HFI channels. Therefore the flux densities of sources obtained from the full-mission maps are the average of at least 8 observations for LFI channels or at least 4 observations for HFI channels. The relevant properties of the frequency maps and main parameters used to generate the catalogues are summarized in Tables 1 and 2.

Four different photometry methods have been used. For one of the methods, the native photometry from the Mexican hat wavelet detection algorithm, the analysis is performed on patches containing tangent plane projections of the map. For the other methods (aperture photometry, point spread function fitting, and Gaussian fitting), the analysis is performed directly on the full-sky maps.

PCCS2 in Intensity
Sky distribution of the PCCS2 intensity sources at three different channels: 30 GHz (red circles), 143 GHz (blue circles) and 857 GHz (green circles). The dimension of the circles is related to the brightness of the sources and the beam size of each channel.
PCCS2E in Intensity
Sky distribution of the PCCS2E intensity sources at three different channels: 143 GHz (blue circles) and 857 GHz (green circles).

The analysis in polarization has been performed in a non-blind fashion, looking at the position of the sources previously detected in intensity. As a result, polarization flux densities and polarization angles have been measured for hundreds of sources with a significance >99.99%. This high threshold in significance has been chosen to minimize the possibility of misinterpreting a peak of the polarized background as a source. This implies that, in general, most of the polarized sources are very bright, introducing an additional selection effect.

PCCS2 in Polarization
Sky distribution of the PCCS2 polarization sources at three different channels: 30GHz (red circles), 44GHz (green circles) and 70GHz (blue circles).
Sky distribution of the PCCS2 polarization sources at three different channels: 100GHz (red circles), 143GHz (blue circles) and 217GHz (green circles) and 353 GHz (black).
PCCS2E in Polarization
Sky distribution of the PCCS2E polarization sources at three different channels: 100GHz (red circles), 143GHz (blue circles) and 217GHz (green circles) and 353 GHz (black).

Notes

  1. Format is PCCS2 fff Glll.ll±bb.bb for sources in the PCCS2 and PCCS2E fff Glll.ll±bb.bb for sources in the PCCS2E, where fff is the frequency channel and (l, b) is the position of the source in Galactic coordinates truncated to two decimal places.
  2. We follow the IAU/IEEE convention (Hamaker & Bregman 1996) for defining the angle of polarization of a source, and this convention is also used for the other angles in the catalogue. The angle is measured from the North Galactic Pole in a clockwise direction from -90 to 90 degrees.
  3. Provided when the significance of the polarization measurement is > 99.99% and set to NULL otherwise.
  4. The P_STAT flag gives the status of the marginal polarization detection, possible values are:
    3 – Bright: P field filled in; all PX fields set to NULL.
    2 – Significant: P field is set to NULL; 0 is outside the PX 95% HPD; all PX fields are filled.
    1 – Marginal: P field is set to NULL; 0 is inside the PX 95% HPD, but mode of PX posterior distribution is not 0; all PX fields are filled.
    0 – No detection: P field is set to NULL; mode of PX posterior distribution is 0; PX_ERRL, ANGLE_PX, ANGLE_PX_ERR_LOWER, and ANGLE_PX_ERR_UPPER are set to NULL.
  5. 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 criterion for extension being sqrt(GAU_FWHMMAJ * GAU_FWHMIN) > 1.5 times the beam FWHM.
  6. The EXT_VAL flag gives the status of the external validation, possible values are:
    3 – The source has a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues used as ancillary data.
    2 – The source does not have a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues used as ancillary data but it has been detected by the internal multi-frequency method.
    1 – The source does not have a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues used as ancillary data and it has not been detected by the internal multi-frequency method, but it has been detected in a previous Planck source catalogue.
    0 – The source does not have a clear counterpart in one of the catalogues used as ancillary data and it has not been detected by the internal multi-frequency method.
  7. The HIGHEST_RELIABILTY_CAT column contains the highest reliability catalogue to which the source belongs. As the full catalogue reliability is ≥ 80%, this is the lowest possible value in this column. Where possible this is provided in steps of 1% otherwise it is in steps of 5%.
  8. The WHICH_ZONE column encodes the zone in which the source lies:
    1 – source lies inside filament mask.
    2 – source lies inside Galactic zone.
    3 – sources lies in both filament mask and Galactic zone.

(2015) Second SZ Catalogue[edit]

The Planck SZ catalogue is constructed as described in SZ catalogue and in sections 2 and 3 of Planck-2015-A27[2]. Three pipelines are used to detect SZ clusters: two independent implementations of the Matched Multi-Filter (MMF1 and MMF3), and PowellSnakes (PwS). The main catalogue is constructed as the union of the catalogues from the three detection methods. The completeness and reliability of the catalogues have been assessed through internal and external validation as described in section 4 of Planck-2015-A27[2].

The size of a detection is given in terms of the scale size, θs, and the flux is given in terms of the total integrated Comptonization parameter, Y = Y5R500. The parameters of the GNFW profile assumed by the detection pipelines are written in the headers of the catalogues. For the sake of convenience, the conversion factor from Y to Y500 is also provided in the header.

The union catalogue contains the coordinates of a detection, its signal-to-noise ratio, an estimate of Y and its uncertainty, together with a summary of the validation information, including external identification of a cluster and its redshift if they are available. The pipeline from which the information is taken is called the reference pipeline. If more than one pipeline makes the same detection, the information is taken from the the pipeline that makes the most significant detection. Where the redshift is known, we provide the SZ mass for the reference pipeline.

The individual catalogues contain the coordinates and the signal-to-noise ratio of the detections, and information on the size and flux of the detections. The entries are cross-referenced to the detections in the union catalogue. The full information on the degeneracy between θs and Y is included in the individual catalogues in the form of the two-dimensional probability distribution for each detection. It is computed on a well-sampled grid to produce a two-dimensional image for each detection. It is provided in this form so it can be combined with a model or external data to produce tighter constraints on the parameters. The individual catalogues also contain Planck measurements of the SZ mass observable, MSZ, as calculated using a Y-M scaling relation and an assumed redshift to break the Y-θs degeneracy. These are provided for each detection as functions of assumed redshift, in the range 0.01 < z < 1, along with the upper and lower 68% confidence limits.

The selection function of the union catalogue, the intersection catalogue and the individual catalogues are provided in additional files. The selection function files contains the probability of detection for clusters of given intrinsic parameters θ500 and Y500. The file includes the definition of the survey area in the form of a HEALPix mask, and is evaluated for a range of signal-to-noise thresholds between 4.5 and 10.

Union catalogue[edit]

The union catalogue is contained in HFI_PCCS_SZ-union_R2.08.fits.

(2015) Planck Catalogue of Galactic Cold Clumps[edit]

The Planck Catalogue of Galactic Cold Clumps (PGCC) is a list of 13188 Galactic sources and 54 sources located in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. The sources have been identified in Planck data as sources colder than their environment. It has been buit using the 48 months Planck data at 857, 545, and 353 GHz combined with the 3 THz IRAS data, as it is described in Planck-2015-A28[3].

The all-sky distribution of the PGCC sources is shown below on top of the 857 GHz emission shown in logarithmic scale between 10-2 to 102 MJy/sr.

All-sky distribution of the PGCC sources.

Sources are divided into three categories based on the reliability of the flux density estimates in IRAS 3 THz and Planck 857, 545, and 353 GHz bands.

  • FLUX_QUALITY=1 : sources with flux density estimates S/N > 1 in all bands ;
  • FLUX_QUALITY=2 : sources with flux density estimates S/N > 1 only in 857, 545, and 353 GHz Planck bands, considered as very cold source candidates ;
  • FLUX_QUALITY=3 : sources without any reliable flux density estimates, listed as poor candidates.

The all-sky distributions of the PGCC sources per FLUX_QUALITY category are shown below on top of the 857 GHz map in grey scale shown in logarithmic scale between 10-2 to 102 MJy/sr.

All-sky distribution of the PGCC sources with FLUX_QUALITY=1.
All-sky distribution of the PGCC sources with FLUX_QUALITY=2.
All-sky distribution of the PGCC sources with FLUX_QUALITY=3.

Distance estimates have been obtained on 5574 PGCC sources using seven different methods/technics, as described in Planck-2015-A28[3]. A flag is raised to quantify the quality of the distance estimates, defined as follows:

  • DIST_QUALITY=0 : No distance estimate ;
  • DIST_QUALITY=1 : Single distance estimate ;
  • DIST_QUALITY=2 : Multiple distance estimates which are consistent within 1[math]\sigma[/math] ;
  • DIST_QUALITY=3 : Multiple distance estimates which are not consistent within 1[math]\sigma[/math] ;
  • DIST_QUALITY=4 : Single upper limits.

The all-sky distribution of the sources with robust distance estimates is shown below.

All-sky distribution of the 4655 PGCC sources for which a distance estimate with a DIST_QUALITY flag equal to 1 or 2 is available. The various types of distance estimates are defined as follows : kinematic (purple), optical extinction (blue), near-infrared extinction (green), molecular complex association (orange), and Herschel HKP-GCC (red). We also show the distribution of the 664 sources with an upper-limit estimate (DIST_QUALITY=4) provided by the near-infrared extinction method (light green). Molecular complexes are outlined with black contours.

Notes:

  • 1: The position angle of the 2D ellipse is defined as the angle between the axis parallele to the Galactic plane and the major axis, counted clockwise.
  • 2: The warm bakcground flux densities are computed using the same solid angle as for the clumps flux densities, but on the warm conponent map.
  • 3: See text above for a full description of the FLUX_QUALITY flag, for which 1 is best.
  • 4: This relative bias due to blending provides a rough estimate of the factor that should be applied on the clumpds flux densities to get a corrected estimate. It has been obtained on a very simple modelling of clumps morphology and the local environment. It has therefore to be taken very carefully.
  • 5: See text above for a full description of the DIST_QUALITY flag.
  • 6: Temperature and spectral index of the warm background are based on the warm background flux density estimates obtained on the same solid angle used for clumps

(2015) Planck List of high-redshift source candidates[edit]

The Planck list of high-redshift source candidates (PHZ) is a list of 2151 sources located in the cleanest 26% of the sky and identified as point sources exhibiting an excess in the submillimeter compared to their environment. It has been built using the 48 months Planck data at 857, 545, 353 and 217 GHz combined with the 3 THz IRAS data, as it is described in Planck-2015-XXXIX[4]. These sources are considered as high-z source candidates (z>1.5-2), given the very low contamination by Galactic cirrus, and their typical colour-colour ratio. A subsample of the PHZ list has already been followed-up with Herschel, and chararcterized as overdensities of red galaxies for more than 93% of the population, and as strongly lensed galaxies in 3% of the cases, as detailed in Planck-2014-XXVIII[5].

The all-sky distribution of the PHZ sources is shown below on orthographic projection.
