TL;DR
The paper presents the Planck ERCSC, a high-sensitivity, all-sky catalog of over 15,000 sources including cold cores and galaxy clusters, constructed using a reliable detection algorithm from Planck's multi-frequency data.
Contribution
It introduces the first high-sensitivity, all-sky compact source catalog from Planck data, including specialized catalogs for cold cores and SZ clusters, with a novel reliability selection method.
Findings
Catalog contains over 15,000 sources across nine frequencies.
Reliable detection threshold established at 10-sigma flux density.
Includes specialized catalogs for cold cores and SZ clusters.
Abstract
(Abridged) A brief description of the methodology of construction, contents and usage of the Planck Early Release Compact Source Catalogue (ERCSC), including the Early Cold Cores (ECC) and the Early Sunyaev-Zeldovich (ESZ) cluster catalogue is provided. The catalogue is based on data that consist of mapping the entire sky once and 60% of the sky a second time by Planck, thereby comprising the first high sensitivity radio/submillimetre observations of the entire sky. A Monte-Carlo algorithm based on the injection and extraction of artificial sources into the Planck maps was implemented to select reliable sources among all extracted candidates such that the cumulative reliability of the catalogue is >=90%. The 10sigma photometric flux density limit of the catalogue at |b|>30 deg is 0.49, 1.0, 0.67, 0.5, 0.33, 0.28, 0.25, 0.47 and 0.82 Jy at each of the nine frequencies between 30 and 857…
