abstract

We present the all-sky Planck catalogue of Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) sources detected from the 29 month full-mission data. The catalogue (PSZ2) is the largest SZ-selected sample of galaxy clusters yet produced and the deepest all-sky catalogue of galaxy clusters. It contains 1653 detections, of which 1203 are confirmed clusters with identified counterparts in external data-sets, and is the first SZ-selected cluster survey containing > $10^3$ confirmed clusters. We present a detailed analysis of the survey selection function in terms of its completeness and statistical reliability, placing a lower limit of 83% on the purity. Using simulations, we find that the Y5R500 estimates are robust to pressure-profile variation and beam systematics, but accurate conversion to Y500 requires. the use of prior information on the cluster extent. We describe the multi-wavelength search for counterparts in ancillary data, which makes use of radio, microwave, infra-red, optical and X-ray data-sets, and which places emphasis on the robustness of the counterpart match. We discuss the physical properties of the new sample and identify a population of low-redshift X-ray under- luminous clusters revealed by SZ selection. These objects appear in optical and SZ surveys with consistent properties for their mass, but are almost absent from ROSAT X-ray selected samples.

PSZ: The meta-catalogue of Planck Sunyaev-Zeldovich sources

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-16 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

PSZ is a new meta-catalogue of 1500 confirmed Planck SZ clusters incorporating 281 new confirmations, 262 invalidations, updated redshifts for 552 clusters, and homogeneously derived masses corrected for selection effects.

ComPACT: Mass-Redshift Properties of the galaxy cluster catalogue

astro-ph.CO · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

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%.

The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe through the SKA lenses

astro-ph.CO · 2026-06-30 · unverdicted · novelty 1.0

This review chapter summarizes the cosmic web's theoretical framework, recent radio observations of diffuse gas, and the expected impact of the SKA on detecting baryons in filaments and cluster outskirts.
