    Planck 2013 results. XXIII. Isotropy and statistics of the CMB
    The two fundamental assumptions of the standard cosmological model – that the initial fluctuations are statistically isotropic and Gaussian – are rigorously...

    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...

    Planck 2013 results. XXIX. The Planck catalogue of Sunyaev-Zeldovich sources
    We describe the all-sky Planck catalogue of clusters and cluster candidates derived from Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect detections using the first 15.5 months of...
  • Publication
    Planck 2013 results. XXV. Searches for cosmic strings and other topological defects
    Planck data have been used to provide stringent new constraints on cosmic strings and other defects. We describe forecasts of the CMB power spectrum induced by...

    Planck 2013 results. XXVI. Background geometry and topology of the Universe
    The new cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps from Planck provide the highest-quality full-sky view of the surface of last scattering available to...

    Planck 2013 results. XXVII. Doppler boosting of the CMB: Eppur si muove
    Our velocity relative to the rest frame of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) generates a dipole temperature anisotropy on the sky which has been well...
  • Publication
    Planck 2013 results. XXVIII. The Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources
    The Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS) is the catalogue of sources detected in the first 15 months of Planck operations, the “nominal” mission. It...

    Planck 2013 results. XXX. Cosmic infrared background measurements and implications for star formation
    We present new measurements of cosmic infrared background (CIB) anisotropies using Planck. Combining HFI data with IRAS, the angular auto- and cross-frequency...

    Planck 2013 results. XXXI. Consistency of the Planck data
    The Planck design and scanning strategy provide many levels of redundancy that can be exploited to provide tests of internal consistency. One of the most...
