    Planck 2013 results. II. Low Frequency Instrument data processing
    We describe the data processing pipeline of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) data processing centre (DPC) to create and characterize full-sky maps...
  • Publication
    Planck 2013 results. III. LFI systematic uncertainties
    We present the current estimate of instrumental and systematic effect uncertainties for the Planck-Low Frequency Instrument relevant to the first release of the...

    Planck 2013 results. V. LFI calibration
    We discuss the methods employed to photometrically calibrate the data acquired by the Low Frequency Instrument on Planck. Our calibration is based on a...
