TL;DR
The Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS) provides a comprehensive, high-sensitivity all-sky list of Galactic and extragalactic sources detected in the first 15 months of Planck data, with improved resolution and reliability.
Contribution
This paper introduces the construction, validation, and statistical analysis of the PCCS, a new all-sky catalogue of compact sources from Planck data.
Findings
Coverage of 30--857 GHz with higher sensitivity and resolution.
Reliability >80% with over 65% sources detected in multiple channels.
Catalogue includes both Galactic and extragalactic sources.
Abstract
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 consists of nine single-frequency catalogues of compact sources, both Galactic and extragalactic, detected over the entire sky. The PCCS covers the frequency range 30--857\,GHz with higher sensitivity (it is 90% complete at 180 mJy in the best channel) and better angular resolution (from ~33' to ~5') than previous all-sky surveys in this frequency band. By construction its reliability is >80% and more than 65% of the sources have been detected at least in two contiguous Planck channels. In this paper we present the construction and validation of the PCCS, its contents and its statistical characterization.
