On Planck simulations: towards `2-nd order' analyses
C. Burigana, D. Maino, N. Mandolesi +6
We simulate Planck observations by adopting a detailed model of the microwave sky including monopole, dipole, anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and galactic and…

Extragalactic Radio Sources and CMB anisotropies
L. Toffolatti, G. De Zotti, F. Argüeso +1
Confusion noise due to extragalactic sources is a fundamental astrophysical limitation for experiments aimed at accurately determining the power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Ba…

Radio and Far-IR Extragalactic Sources at Planck Frequencies
G. De Zotti, L. Toffolatti
We discuss the main uncertainties affecting estimates of small scale fluctuations due to extragalactic sources in the Planck Surveyor frequency bands. Conservative estimates allow…
