Mission_Name: Planck
Description:
Planck is a European Space Agency (ESA) mission, with significant
contributions from the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Agency
(NASA). It is the third generation of space-based cosmic microwave
background experiments, after the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE)
and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). Planck was
launched on 14 May 2009 on an Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou, French
Guiana. Following a cruise to the Earth-Sun L2 Lagrange point, cooling
and in orbit checkout, Planck initiated the First Light Survey on 13
August 2009. Since then, Planck has been continuously measuring the
intensity of the sky over a range of frequencies from 30 to 857GHz
(wavelengths of 1cm to 350µm) with spatial resolutions ranging from
about 33' to 5' respectively. The Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) on
Planck provides temperature and polarization information using
radiometers which operate between 30 and 70GHz. The High Frequency
Instrument (HFI) uses pairs of polarization-sensitive bolometers at
each of four frequencies between 100 and 353GHz but does not measure
polarization information in the two upper HFI bands at 545 and 857GHz.
The lowest frequencies overlap with WMAP, and the highest frequencies
extend far into the submillimeter in order to improve separation
between Galactic foregrounds and the cosmic microwave background
(CMB). By extending to wavelengths longer than those at which the
Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) operated, Planck is providing
an unprecedented window into dust emission at far-infrared and
submillimeter wavelengths.
The Planck Early Release Compact Source Catalogue (ERCSC) is a list of
all high reliability sources, both Galactic and extragalactic, derived
from the first sky coverage. The data that went into this early
release comprise all observations undertaken between 13 August 2009
and 6 June 2010, corresponding to Planck operational days 91-389.
Since the Planck scan strategy results in the entire sky being
observed every 6 months, the data considered in this release
correspond to more than the first sky coverage. The source lists have
reliability goals of >90% across the entire sky and >95% at high
Galactic latitude. The goals on photometric accuracy are 30% while the
positional accuracy goal translates to a positional root mean square
(RMS) uncertainty that is less than 1/5 of the beam full width at half
maximum (FWHM).
Detailed explanations about the mission and the catalogs included here
can be found in the "Explanatory supplement" (file "ercsc4_3.pdf").
Skymaps of the sources can be found in the "skymaps" subdirectory;
postage stamps of the sources in the ECC (Early Cold Cores) catalog
and in the different filters are located in the "stamps" subdirectory.
The "Byte-by-byte Description" below contain column names standardized
according to the conventions used at CDS; the original column names,
as defined in the FITS files, are listed, enclosed within parentheses,
at the end of the explanations.

Note (1): the full name which is recommended to designate a source is:
PLCKERCxxx GLLL.ll+BB.bb, where "xxx" is the frequency and
"GLLL.ll+BB.bb" the galactic position
Note (2): see section 7.3 of the "ercsc4_3.pdf" file.
The flag characterizes the source flux as found in the intensity maps (S)
and in the CMB subtracted maps (S'):
* 0 = |(S-S')/S| < 30%
* 1 = |(S-S')/S| > 30%
* 2 = the source is not detected in the CMB subtracted maps.
Note (3): the orientation of the ellipse is specified by the angle θ
measured East of the North Galactic direction.
Note (4):
The X and Y axes used in moment analysis are defined within local
gnomonic projections around each source (iso-latitudes along X and
iso-longitudes along Y axes, resp.).
Note (5): Parameter existing in the 857GHz catalog only
Note (6): the reliability is defined as the fraction of Monte-Carlo (MC)
sources that are matched and have photometric errors < 30%
Note (7):
Sources in the HFI bands each have a CIRRUS number which is based on
the number of sources (both low and high reliability) within a 2°
radius of the source, in raw 857GHz catalogues derived from the maps.
The number has been normalized to a peak value of unity (section 3.1)
