Planck early results: Cluster Sunyaev-Zeldovich optical scaling relations
Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, M. Arnaud +202
We present the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signal-to-richness scaling relation (Y500-N200) for the MaxBCG cluster catalogue. Employing a multi-frequency matched filter on the Planck sky…
Planck Early Results XI: Calibration of the local galaxy cluster Sunyaev-Zeldovich scaling relations
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +207
We present precise Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect measurements in the direction of 62 nearby galaxy clusters (z <0.5) detected at high signal-to-noise in the first Planck all-sky da…
Planck early results. IX. XMM-Newton follow-up for validation of Planck cluster candidates
Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, M. Arnaud +197
We present the XMM-Newton follow-up for confirmation of Planck cluster candidates. Twenty-five candidates have been observed to date using snapshot (~10 ksec) exposures, ten as par…
Planck Early Results VIII: The all-sky Early Sunyaev-Zeldovich cluster sample
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +235
We present the first all-sky sample of galaxy clusters detected blindly by the Planck satellite through the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect from its six highest frequencies. This ear…
Planck Early Results. II. The thermal performance of Planck
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +225
The performance of the Planck instruments in space is enabled by their low operating temperatures, 20K for LFI and 0.1K for HFI, achieved through a combination of passive radiative…
Planck Early Results: The Planck mission
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +272
The European Space Agency's Planck satellite was launched on 14 May 2009, and has been surveying the sky stably and continuously since 13 August 2009. Its performance is well in li…
