abstract
This paper presents a detailed description of the CamSpec likelihood which has been used to analyse Planck temperature and polarization maps of the cosmic microwave background since the first Planck data release. We have created a number of likelihoods using a range of Galactic sky masks and different methods of temperature foreground cleaning. Our most powerful likelihood uses 80 percent of the sky in temperature and polarization. Our results show that the six-parameter LCDM cosmology provides an excellent fit to the Planck data. There is no evidence for statistically significant internal tensions in the Planck TT, TE and EE spectra computed for different frequency combinations. We present evidence that the tendencies for the Planck temperature power spectra to favour a lensing amplitude A_L>1 and positive spatial curvature are caused by statistical fluctuations in the temperature power spectra. Using our statistically most powerful likelihood, we find that the A_L parameter differs from unity at no more than the 2.2 sigma level. We find no evidence for anomalous shifts in cosmological parameters with multipole range. In fact, we show that the combined TTTEEE likelihood over the restricted multipole range 2-800 gives cosmological parameters for the base LCDM cosmology that are very close to those derived from the full multipole range 2-2500. We present revised constraints on a few extensions of the base LCDM cosmology, focussing on the sum of neutrino masses, number of relativistic species and the tensor-scalar ratio. The results presented here show that the Planck data are remarkably consistent between detector-sets, frequencies and sky area. We find no evidence in our analysis that cosmological parameters determined from the CamSpec likelihood are affected to any significant degree by systematic errors in the Planck data (abridged).

Joint analysis of LVK standard sirens and DES 3x2pt data yields H0 = 67.9 +4.4/-4.3 km s^{-1} Mpc^{-1} at 6.4% precision while tightening the Omega_m constraint by 22%.
A Z_N-symmetric multi-copy dark-QCD axion, broken by single-sector reheating, yields natural phantom-crossing dark energy with dark-pion DM in a viable parameter window.
Including dark-energy perturbations shifts cosmological neutrino-mass constraints toward smaller effective masses, making the dynamical-dark-energy alleviation of the neutrino-mass tension non-generic.
First UVLF-based constraints on model-agnostic isocurvature power spectra for CDM, baryon, neutrino, and dark radiation modes yield consistent 95% credible envelopes over k ~ 0.5-10 Mpc^{-1}.
A Gompertzian reionization model with three nuisance parameters demotes optical depth to a derived quantity, reducing its uncertainty by a factor of three and revealing potential neutrino mass tension in CMB analyses.
ACT DR6 CMB lensing map gives σ8 = 0.819 ± 0.015 and H0 = 68.3 ± 1.1 km/s/Mpc, consistent with Planck ΛCDM but 1.7-2.1σ higher in S8 than KiDS, DES, and HSC galaxy surveys.
Under standard recombination, phantom-crossing dynamical dark energy is preferred at ~97–98.5% probability; early-time fixes to the Hubble tension erase that preference while creating severe ω_m tension with CMB.
Using Planck, DESI, supernovae, and redshift-space distortions, the authors infer that modified gravity, if present, must act only below ~30 Mpc and cannot modify the large scales previously considered.
Bayesian evidence computation on DESI DR2 plus Planck and supernovae eliminates the frequentist 3.1 sigma preference for w0waCDM over LambdaCDM when using the DES-Dovekie recalibration, yielding ln B = -0.30 favoring the standard model.
Bayesian evidence favors a constant dark energy model for DESI plus Planck data and shows that apparent support for evolving dark energy with added supernova data stems from a 2.95 sigma tension between DESI and DES-SN5YR that the flexible model resolves.
DESI DR2 BAO and full-shape data plus CMB yield ∑m_ν < 0.0642 eV (95% CL) under ΛCDM, in 3σ tension with oscillation lower limits, relaxed to <0.163 eV in w0waCDM.
Planck PR4 maps with optimal filtering yield CMB lensing amplitude 1.004 ± 0.024 and σ8 Ωm^0.25 = 0.599 ± 0.016, the tightest lensing constraint yet.
Final Planck CMB data confirms the flat 6-parameter ΛCDM model with Ω_c h² = 0.120 ± 0.001, Ω_b h² = 0.0224 ± 0.0001, n_s = 0.965 ± 0.004, τ = 0.054 ± 0.007, H_0 = 67.4 ± 0.5 km/s/Mpc, and no strong evidence for extensions.
DESI DR1 bispectrum plus DR2 BAO data raise σ8 and S8 by ~1.1-1.2σ while tightening uncertainties, shift DESI-only w0waCDM toward ΛCDM, produce a 2.8σ deviation from ΛCDM when combined with CMB, and yield a neutrino mass sum posterior of 0.26±0.17 eV.
Bayesian constraints on seven w(a) parameterizations with CMB+BAO+SNIa datasets favor the logarithmic model over LambdaCDM in several combinations and show modest sigma8 relief.
Systematic dataset swaps show DESY5 low-redshift SNIa, Planck CMB plus lensing, and DESI-DR2 BAO as the dominant sources of w0waCDM tension with ΛCDM, while other combinations remain consistent.
Blue galaxy selection in DES Y3 cosmic shear mitigates IA effects, producing stable parameters with 1.5x smaller S8 uncertainty and improved CMB agreement versus the full sample.
Combined CMB datasets moderately tighten the allowed range for the spectral index of axion isocurvature but leave amplitude bounds for fixed indices unchanged.
Observational constraints on a dark energy EoS parametrization in curved spacetime yield α ≈ 0.35 (0.56) and Ω_k0 that changes sign with ANN data reconstruction.
Lensing amplitude A_L deviates from 1 at up to 3.06 sigma in combined datasets while other phenomenological amplitudes remain consistent with Lambda CDM or are poorly constrained.
