TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the DL dust model to generate maps of the dust mass surface density, the dust optical extinction AV, and the starlight intensity heating the bulk of the Dust, parametrized by Umin.

TL;DR: The 8th Full Focal Plane Simulation Set (FFP8) as mentioned in this paper was deployed in support of the Planck 2015 results and consists of 10 fiducial mission realizations reduced to 18144 maps, together with the most massive suite of Monte Carlo realizations of instrument noise and CMB ever generated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the methods used to produce photometrically calibrated maps from the Planck High Frequency Instrument (HFI) cleaned, time-ordered information.

TL;DR: In this article, the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect from the Planck 2015 temperature and polarization data release is investigated from different perspectives, and the authors show that the ISW effect is detected only at ≈3σ, which is similar to the detection level achieved by combining the cross-correlation signal coming from all the galaxy catalogues mentioned above.

TL;DR: Generated at a cost of some 25 million CPU-hours spread across multiple high-performance-computing (HPC) platforms, FFP8 is used to validate and verify analysis algorithms and their implementations, and to remove biases from and quantify uncertainties in the results of analyses of the real data.
