Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +245
Based on CMB maps from the 2013 Planck Mission data release, this paper presents the detection of the ISW effect, i.e., the correlation between the CMB and large-scale evolving gra…
Planck 2013 results. XVII. Gravitational lensing by large-scale structure
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +235
On the arcminute angular scales probed by Planck, the CMB anisotropies are gently perturbed by gravitational lensing. Here we present a detailed study of this effect, detecting len…

We present the first results based on Planck measurements of the CMB temperature and lensing-potential power spectra. The Planck spectra at high multipoles are extremely well descr…
Planck 2013 results. XIV. Zodiacal emission
Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +229
The Planck satellite provides a set of all-sky maps at nine frequencies from 30 GHz to 857 GHz. Planets, minor bodies, and diffuse interplanetary dust emission (IPD) are all observ…
