The shape of CMB temperature and polarization peaks on the sphere
A. Marcos-Caballero, R. Fernández-Cobos, E. Martínez-González +1
We present a theoretical study of CMB temperature peaks, including its effect over the polarization field, and allowing nonzero eccentricity. The formalism is developed in harmonic…
Planck intermediate results. XLI. A map of lensing-induced B-modes
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +178
The secondary cosmic microwave background (CMB) -modes stem from the post-decoupling distortion of the polarization -modes due to the gravitational lensing effect of large-sc…
Planck intermediate results. XL. The Sunyaev-Zeldovich signal from the Virgo cluster
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +202
The Virgo cluster is the largest Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) source in the sky, both in terms of angular size and total integrated flux. Planck's wide angular scale and frequency covera…
On the void explanation of the Cold Spot
A. Marcos-Caballero, R. Fernández-Cobos, E. Martínez-González +1
The integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) contribution induced on the cosmic microwave background by the presence of a supervoid as the one detected by Szapudi et al. (2015) is reviewed in…
Planck 2015 results. XXIII. The thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect--cosmic infrared background correlation
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +199
We use Planck data to detect the cross-correlation between the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect and the infrared emission from the galaxies that make up the the cosmic infrar…
Planck 2015 results. XII. Full Focal Plane simulations
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +228
We present the 8th Full Focal Plane simulation set (FFP8), deployed in support of the Planck 2015 results. FFP8 consists of 10 fiducial mission realizations reduced to 18144 maps,…
