Notes. The error in the solid angle σΩ comes from the scanning beam error budget. The spatial variation ΔΩ is the RMS variation of the solid angle across the sky. Two values are reported for the FWHM: the first is the FWHM of the Gaussian whose solid angle is equivalent to that of the effective beams; the second in parenthesis is the mean best-fit Gaussian. Ω1 and Ω2 are the solid angles contained within a ring with radius 1 and 2 FWHM respectively (used for aperture photometry as described in Appendix A of Planck Collaboration XXVIII 2014). The ellipticity ϵ is the ratio of the major to minor axis of the best fit Gaussian, averaged over the full sky. Δϵ is the RMS variability over the sky of the ellipticity.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
