Description
The scientific performance of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI)
after one year of in-orbit operation is presented. We describe the main
optical parameters and discuss photometric calibration, white noise
sensitivity, and noise properties. A preliminary evaluation of the
impact of the main systematic effects is presented. For each of the
performance parameters, we outline the methods used to obtain them from
the flight data and provide a comparison with pre-launch ground
assessments, which are essentially confirmed in flight.
