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 relationship between the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signal and X-ray luminosity is investigated and the measured SZ signal is compared to values predicted from X-rays data.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the processing applied to the HFI cleaned time-ordered data to produce photometrically calibrated maps, based on the photometric calibration parameters and detail the scheme used to a posteriori set the zero level of the maps.
