    Planck 2018 results. V. CMB power spectra and likelihoods
    We describe the legacy Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) likelihoods derived from the 2018 data release. The overall approach is similar in spirit to the...
  • Publication
    Planck 2018 results. VII. Isotropy and statistics of the CMB
    Analysis of the Planck 2018 data set indicates that the statistical properties of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies are in...
  • Publication
    Planck early results. IV. First assessment of the High Frequency Instrument in-flight performance
    The Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) is designed to measure the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background and Galactic...
  • Publication
    Planck early results. V. The Low Frequency Instrument data processing
    We describe the processing of data from the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) used in production of the Planck Early Release Compact Source Catalogue (ERCSC). In...

    Planck early results. VI. The High Frequency Instrument data processing
    We describe the processing of the 336 billion raw data samples from the High Frequency Instrument (HFI) which we performed to produce six temperature maps from...

    Planck early results. XXIV. Dust in the diffuse interstellar medium and the Galactic halo
    This paper presents the first results from a comparison of Planck dust maps at 353, 545 and 857GHz, along with IRAS data at 3000 (100 μm) and 5000GHz (60 μm)...
  • Publication
    Planck intermediate results. LIII. Detection of velocity dispersion from the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect
    Using the Planck full-mission data, we present a detection of the temperature (and therefore velocity) dispersion due to the kinetic Sunyaev-Zeldovich (kSZ)...
  • Publication
    Planck intermediate results. LVII. Joint Planck LFI and HFI data processing
    We present the NPIPE processing pipeline, which produces calibrated frequency maps in temperature and polarization from data from the Planck Low Frequency...
  • Publication
    Planck intermediate results. XLIV. Structure of the Galactic magnetic field from dust polarization maps of the southern Galactic cap
    Using data from the Planck satellite, we study the statistical properties of interstellar dust polarization at high Galactic latitudes around the south pole (b...
