PublicationPlanck early results. II. The thermal performance of Planck
The performance of the Planck instruments in space is enabled by their low operating temperatures, 20 K for LFI and 0.1 K for HFI, achieved through a...

PublicationPlanck early results. III. First assessment of the Low Frequency Instrument in-flight performance
The scientific performance of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) after one year of in-orbit operation is presented. We describe the main optical...
