    Planck 2018 results. XI. Polarized dust foregrounds
    The study of polarized dust emission has become entwined with the analysis of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization in the quest for the curl-like...

    Planck early results. II. The thermal performance of Planck
    The performance of the Planck instruments in space is enabled by their low operating temperatures, 20 K for LFI and 0.1 K for HFI, achieved through a...
  • Publication
    Planck early results. III. First assessment of the Low Frequency Instrument in-flight performance
    The scientific performance of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) after one year of in-orbit operation is presented. We describe the main optical...
