Planck Public Data Release 1 (PR1) Mission Ancillary Data

Note: This page lists products from PR1 (2013 release). Some are replaced by newer products from PR2 (2015 release), see the PR2 Ancillary Data page.

The seven additional data sets available here consist of 1) those used to derive cosmological parameters from the CMB power spectrum, 2) all-sky masks used for component separation and CMB power spectrum estimates, 3) instrumentation information for the LFI and HFI detectors, 4) validation data for Planck SZ cluster catalog, 5) all-sky simulated maps of the foregrounds and CMB, 6) HEALPix maps containng the number of observation dates and the specific dates across the sky, and 7) conversions between HEALPix pixel numbers and sky coordinates.

A description of the HEALPix map format and a suite of software tools are available at the HEALPix site, http://healpix.sourceforge.net. Planck mission products and the observation date files are described in the Explanatory Supplement.
