    Planck 2013 results. XVII. Gravitational lensing by large-scale structure
    On the arcminute angular scales probed by Planck, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies are gently perturbed by gravitational lensing. Here we...

    Planck 2013 results. XXIV. Constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity
    The Planck nominal mission cosmic microwave background (CMB) maps yield unprecedented constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity (NG). Using three optimal...
