    Planck 2013 results. XVII. Gravitational lensing by large-scale structure

    Get PDF
    On the arcminute angular scales probed by Planck, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies are gently perturbed by gravitational lensing. Here we present a detailed study of this effect, detecting lensing independently in the 100, 143, and 217 GHz frequency bands with an overall significance of greater than 25σ. We use thetemperature-gradient correlations induced by lensing to reconstruct a (noisy) map of the CMB lensing potential, which provides an integrated measure of the mass distribution back to the CMB last-scattering surface. Our lensing potential map is significantly correlated with other tracers of mass, a fact which we demonstrate using several representative tracers of large-scale structure. We estimate the power spectrum of the lensing potential, finding generally good agreement with expectations from the best-fitting ΛCDM model for the Planck temperature power spectrum, showing that this measurement at z = 1100 correctly predicts the properties of the lower-redshift, later-time structures which source the lensing potential. When combined with the temperature power spectrum, our measurement provides degeneracy-breaking power for parameter constraints; it improves CMB-alone constraints on curvature by a factor of two and also partly breaks the degeneracy between the amplitude of the primordial perturbation power spectrum and the optical depth to reionization, allowing a measurement of the optical depth to reionization which is independent of large-scale polarization data. Discarding scale information, our measurement corresponds to a 4% constraint on the amplitude of the lensing potential power spectrum, or a 2% constraint on the root-mean-squared amplitude of matter fluctuations at z ~ 2

    Planck 2013 results. XXVIII. The Planck catalogue of compact sources

    Get PDF
    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 32.88â€Č to 4.33â€Č) 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 in at least two contiguous Planck channels. In this paper we present the construction and validation of the PCCS, its contents and its statistical characterization

    Planck 2018 results: VIII. Gravitational lensing

    We present measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing potential using the final Planck\textit{Planck} 2018 temperature and polarization data. We increase the significance of the detection of lensing in the polarization maps from 5 σ5\,\sigma to 9 σ9\,\sigma. Combined with temperature, lensing is detected at 40 σ40\,\sigma. We present an extensive set of tests of the robustness of the lensing-potential power spectrum, and construct a minimum-variance estimator likelihood over lensing multipoles 8≀L≀4008 \le L \le 400. We find good consistency between lensing constraints and the results from the Planck\textit{Planck} CMB power spectra within the ΛCDM\rm{\Lambda CDM} model. Combined with baryon density and other weak priors, the lensing analysis alone constrains σ8Ωm0.25=0.589±0.020\sigma_8 \Omega_{\rm m}^{0.25}=0.589\pm 0.020 (1 σ1\,\sigma errors). Also combining with baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) data, we find tight individual parameter constraints, σ8=0.811±0.019\sigma_8=0.811\pm0.019, H0=67.9−1.3+1.2 km s−1 Mpc−1H_0=67.9_{-1.3}^{+1.2}\,\text{km}\,\text{s}^{-1}\,\rm{Mpc}^{-1}, and Ωm=0.303−0.018+0.016\Omega_{\rm m}=0.303^{+0.016}_{-0.018}. Combining with Planck\textit{Planck} CMB power spectrum data, we measure σ8\sigma_8 to better than 1 %1\,\% precision, finding σ8=0.811±0.006\sigma_8=0.811\pm 0.006. We find consistency with the lensing results from the Dark Energy Survey, and give combined lensing-only parameter constraints that are tighter than joint results using galaxy clustering. Using Planck\textit{Planck} cosmic infrared background (CIB) maps we make a combined estimate of the lensing potential over 60 %60\,\% of the sky with considerably more small-scale signal. We demonstrate delensing of the Planck\textit{Planck} power spectra, detecting a maximum removal of 40 %40\,\% of the lensing-induced power in all spectra. The improvement in the sharpening of the acoustic peaks by including both CIB and the quadratic lensing reconstruction is detected at high significance (abridged)
