Planck 2015 results. XXVIII. The Planck Catalogue of Galactic Cold Clumps

Understand

We present the Planck Catalogue of Galactic Cold Clumps (PGCC), an all-sky catalogue of Galactic cold clump candidates detected by Planck.

• This catalogue is the full version of the Early Cold Core (ECC) catalogue, which was made available in 2011 with the Early Release Compact Source Catalogue (ERCSC) and contained 915 high S/N sources.
• It is based on the Planck 48 months mission data that are currently being released to the astronomical community.
• The PGCC catalogue is an observational catalogue consisting exclusively of Galactic cold sources.
