    • Planck Catalog of Compact Sources 857GHz Catalog

    Metadata Updated: April 10, 2026

    The Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS) is a sample of reliable sources, both Galactic and extragalactic, extracted directly from the Planck nominal maps. The first public version of the PCCS, a component of Planck Data Release 1, is derived from the data acquired by Planck between August 13 2009 and November 26 2010. The PCCS consists of nine lists of sources, extracted independently from each of Planck's nine frequency channels. The source lists contain 24 columns per source at the LFI and HFI bands. The 857 GHz source list has six additional columns which give the flux densities and flux density uncertainties at the three adjacent lower frequencies: 217, 353, and 545 GHz.
