Description
We present cluster counts and corresponding cosmological constraints
from the Planck full mission data set. Our catalogue consists of 439
clusters detected via their Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signal down to a
signal-to-noise ratio of 6, and is more than a factor of 2 larger than
the 2013 Planck cluster cosmology sample. The counts are consistent with
those from 2013 and yield compatible constraints under the same
modelling assumptions. Taking advantage of the larger catalogue, we
extend our analysis to the two-dimensional distribution in redshift and
signal-to-noise. We use mass estimates from two recent studies of
gravitational lensing of background galaxies by Planck clusters to
provide priors on the hydrostatic bias parameter, (1-b). In addition, we
use lensing of cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature
fluctuations by Planck clusters as an independent constraint on this
parameter. These various calibrations imply constraints on the
present-day amplitude of matter fluctuations in varying degrees of
tension with those from the Planck analysis of primary fluctuations in
the CMB; for the lowest estimated values of (1-b) the tension is mild,
only a little over one standard deviation, while it remains substantial
(3.7σ) for the largest estimated value. We also examine
constraints on extensions to the base flat ΛCDM model by
combining the cluster and CMB constraints. The combination appears to
favour non-minimal neutrino masses, but this possibility does little to
relieve the overall tension because it simultaneously lowers the implied
value of the Hubble parameter, thereby exacerbating the discrepancy with
most current astrophysical estimates. Improving the precision of cluster
mass calibrations from the current 10%-level to 1% would significantly
strengthen these combined analyses and provide a stringent test of the
base ΛCDM model.
