Planck intermediate results. VIII. Filaments between interacting clusters

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +208

About half of the baryons of the Universe are expected to be in the form of filaments of hot and low density intergalactic medium. Most of these baryons remain undetected even by t…

Planck Early Results: The Planck View of Nearby Galaxies

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +192

The all-sky coverage of the Planck Early Release Compact Source Catalogue (ERCSC) provides an unsurpassed survey of galaxies at submillimetre (submm) wavelengths, representing a ma…

Planck Early Results: The Galactic Cold Core Population revealed by the first all-sky survey

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +202

We present the statistical properties of the first version of the Cold Core Catalogue of Planck Objects (C3PO), in terms of their spatial distribution, temperature, distance, mass,…

Planck Early Results: All sky temperature and dust optical depth from Planck and IRAS: Constraints on the "dark gas" in our galaxy

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +204

We construct an all-sky map of the apparent temperature and optical depth of thermal dust emission using the Planck-HFI and IRAS data. The optical depth maps are correlated to trac…

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. X. Statistical analysis of Sunyaev-Zeldovich scaling relations for X-ray galaxy clusters

Planck Collaboration, N. Aghanim, M. Arnaud +197

All-sky data from the Planck survey and the Meta-Catalogue of X-ray detected Clusters of galaxies (MCXC) are combined to investigate the relationship between the thermal Sunyaev-Ze…

Planck Early Results. VII. The Early Release Compact Source Catalog

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +228

(Abridged) A brief description of the methodology of construction, contents and usage of the Planck Early Release Compact Source Catalogue (ERCSC), including the Early Cold Cores (…

Planck Early Results: Thermal dust in Nearby Molecular Clouds

Planck Collaboration, A. Abergel, P. A. R. Ade +197

Planck allows unbiased mapping of Galactic sub-millimetre and millimetre emission from the most diffuse regions to the densest parts of molecular clouds. We present an early analys…

Planck Early Results XXIV: Dust in the diffuse interstellar medium and the Galactic halo

Planck Collaboration, A. Abergel, P. A. R. Ade +205

This paper presents the first results of comparison of Planck along with IRAS data with Green Bank Telescope 21-cm observations in 14 fields covering more than 800 square degrees a…

Planck early results. XXI. Properties of the interstellar medium in the Galactic plane

Planck Collaboration, A. Abergel, P. A. R. Ade +199

(abridged) Planck has observed the entire sky from 30 GHz to 857GHz. The observed foreground emission contains contributions from different phases of the interstellar medium (ISM).…

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. 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 XIV: ERCSC validation and extreme radio sources

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +206

Planck's all sky surveys at 30-857 GHz provide an unprecedented opportunity to follow the radio spectra of a large sample of extragalactic sources to frequencies 2-20 times higher…
