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 PCCS (Planck Catalog of Compact Sources) is the list of sources
detected in the first 15 months of Planck "nominal" mission. It
consists of nine single-frequency catalogues of compact sources, both
Galactic and extragalactic, detected over the entire sky. The PCCS
covers the frequency range 30-857 GHz with higher sensitivity (it
is 90% complete at 180mJy in the best channel) and better angular
resolution than previous all-sky surveys in the microwave band. By
construction its reliability is >80% and more than 65% of the sources
have been detected at least in two contiguous Planck channels. Many of
the Planck PCCS sources can be associated with stars with dust shells,
stellar cores, radio galaxies, blazars, infrared luminous galaxies and
Galactic interstellar medium features.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (2): the full name which is recommended to designate a source is:
PCCS1 xxx GLLL.ll+BB.bb, where "xxx" is the frequency and
"GLLL.ll+BB.bb" the galactic position.
Note (3): the orientation of the ellipse is specified by the angle θ
measured East of the North Galactic direction.
Note (4): the Gaussian effective FWHM is the geometrical mean of the
two FWHMs FWHM1 and FWHM2: FWHM = sqrt(FWHM1.FWHM2).
Note (5): sources in the HFI bands each have a CIRRUS number which is
based on the number of sources detected at 857 GHz (using a uniform
S/N threshold of 5) within a 1° radius of the source. Many 857GHz
detections at this S/N threshold in the Galactic region will be from
cirrus knots, so it provides a useful indicator of the presence of
cirrus.
Note (6): this number summarizes the cross-matching with external catalogs
(radio catalogs for LFI channels, IRIS extractions for HFI). Values are:
0 = source has no clear counterpart in any of the external
catalogues and it has not been detected in other Planck channels
1 = source has no clear counterpart in any of the external
catalogues, but it has been detected in other Planck channels
2 = source has a clear counterpart in the radio catalogs (LFI).
For the HFI channels, the source either has a clear counterpart
in the radio catalogues or in both the IRIS catalogue and all
the higher Planck channels
Note (7): Parameter existing in the 857GHz catalog only
