abstract
We have constructed all-sky y-maps of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect by applying specifically tailored component separation algorithms to the 30 to 857 GHz frequency channel maps from the Planck satellite survey. These reconstructed y-maps are delivered as part of the Planck 2015 release. The y-maps are characterised in terms of noise properties and residual foreground contamination, mainly thermal dust emission at large angular scales and CIB and extragalactic point sources at small angular scales. Specific masks are defined to minimize foreground residuals and systematics. Using these masks we compute the y-map angular power spectrum and higher order statistics. From these we conclude that the y-map is dominated by tSZ signal in the multipole range, 20-600. We compare the measured tSZ power spectrum and higher order statistics to various physically motivated models and discuss the implications of our results in terms of cluster physics and cosmology.

tSZ cross-correlations with large-scale structure tracers prefer low S8 and strong baryonic feedback, yielding S8 = 0.72 and low group baryon fraction in FLAMINGO simulations.
No evidence for primordial hotspots in Planck polarization data leads to improved bounds on inflationary particle production couplings for light particles.
The ABS method applied to Planck PR3 data yields a tSZ power spectrum amplitude 34% lower than the Planck 2015 best-fit when trispectrum is included.
N-body simulations show the log Compton-y distribution mean decreases linearly with neutrino fraction (slope ~10 f_ν) and tSZ power spectrum scales as power law in σ8^cb (exponents 7.3-8.1), with ∑m_ν=0.16 or 0.32 eV fitting Planck data better than massless case.
ComPACT is a new SZ-selected galaxy cluster catalogue from CNN analysis of ACT+Planck data with 2,962 candidates, ~60% confirmation, 116 new redshifts, 158 new masses, and five new massive clusters at z>0.7 that increase the known high-mass high-z population by ~10%.
A new 296-detector 90 GHz TES bolometer array for CLASS achieves uniform properties, 16 μK√s NET, 0.37 optical efficiency, and a 41% mapping speed boost after addressing blue-leak radiation.
