TL;DR
This paper presents the largest all-sky Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) cluster catalog from Planck data, including confirmed clusters, candidates, and their properties, significantly advancing SZ cluster studies.
Contribution
It introduces a comprehensive SZ-selected galaxy cluster catalog from Planck, with extensive validation, redshift, and mass estimates, expanding the known cluster sample.
Findings
Catalog contains 1227 entries, over six times larger than previous samples.
Includes 861 confirmed clusters with redshifts up to about one.
Provides new SZ-mass proxy and X-ray flux data for clusters.
Abstract
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 Planck satellite observations. The catalogue contains 1227 entries, making it over six times the size of the Planck Early SZ (ESZ) sample and the largest SZ-selected catalogue to date. It contains 861 confirmed clusters, of which 178 have been confirmed as clusters, mostly through follow-up observations, and a further 683 are previously-known clusters. The remaining 366 have the status of cluster candidates, and we divide them into three classes according to the quality of evidence that they are likely to be true clusters. The Planck SZ catalogue is the deepest all-sky cluster catalogue, with redshifts up to about one, and spans the broadest cluster mass range from (0.1 to 1.6) 10^{15}Msun. Confirmation of cluster candidates…
