Planck intermediate results. XLIX. Parity-violation constraints from polarization data (2016)
Journal Article

Parity-violating extensions of the standard electromagnetic theory cause in vacuo rotation of the plane of polarization of propagating photons. This effect, also known as cosmic birefringence, has an impact on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) an... Read More about Planck intermediate results. XLIX. Parity-violation constraints from polarization data.

The effect of carboxylate position on the structure of a metal organic framework derived from cyclotriveratrylene (2016)
Journal Article

Two cyclotriveratrylene-based ligands H3L1 and H3L2 have been synthesised using microwave heating and used in the formation of 1 [Zn2(L1)(DMA)2(CH3COO)] and 2 [Zn6(L2)4(DMA)6(H2O)5] (DMA = N,N-dimethylacetamide). 1 displays an unusual trigonal paddle...

Planck 2015 results. XVII. Constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity (2016)
Journal Article

The Planck full mission cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and E-mode polarization maps are analysed to obtain constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity (NG). Using three classes of optimal bispectrum estimators – separable template-fittin... Read More about Planck 2015 results. XVII. Constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity.

Planck 2015 results. XIX. Constraints on primordial magnetic fields (2016)
Journal Article

We compute and investigate four types of imprint of a stochastic background of primordial magnetic fields (PMFs) on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies: the impact of PMFs on the CMB temperature and polarization spectra, which is relat...

Planck 2015 results. XXVII. The second Planck catalogue of Sunyaev-Zeldovich sources (2016)
Journal Article

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 systematic all-sky surveyof... Read More about Planck 2015 results. XXVII. The second Planck catalogue of Sunyaev-Zeldovich sources.

Planck 2015 results. XXIV. Cosmology from Sunyaev-Zeldovich cluster counts (2016)
Journal Article

We present cluster counts and corresponding cosmological constraints from the Planck full mission data set. Our catalogue consists of 439 clusters detected via their Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signal down to a signal-to-noise ratio of 6, and is more than... Read More about Planck 2015 results. XXIV. Cosmology from Sunyaev-Zeldovich cluster counts.

Planck 2015 results. XVIII. Background geometry and topology of the Universe (2016)
Journal Article

Maps of cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization from the 2015 release of Planck data provide the highest quality full-sky view of the surface of last scattering available to date. This enables us to detect possible departures f... Read More about Planck 2015 results. XVIII. Background geometry and topology of the Universe.

Planck 2015 results: XXVIII. The Planck Catalogue of Galactic cold clumps (2016)
Journal Article

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 wit... Read More about Planck 2015 results: XXVIII. The Planck Catalogue of Galactic cold clumps.

Planck 2015 results. V. LFI calibration (2016)
Journal Article

We present a description of the pipeline used to calibrate the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) timelines into thermodynamic temperatures for the Planck 2015 data release, covering four years of uninterrupted operations. As in the 2013 data rele... Read More about Planck 2015 results. V. LFI calibration.

Planck 2015 results. IV. Low Frequency Instrument beams and window functions (2016)
Journal Article

This paper presents the characterization of the in-flight beams, the beam window functions, and the associated uncertainties for the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI). The structure of the paper is similar to that presented in the 2013 Planck rel... Read More about Planck 2015 results. IV. Low Frequency Instrument beams and window functions.

Relationship between hair and salivary cortisol and pregnancy in women undergoing IVF (2016)
Journal Article

Evidence for an association between cortisol and clinical pregnancy in women undergoing In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is mixed with previous studies relying exclusively on short term measures of cortisol in blood, saliva, urine, and/or follicular flui...

Can illness beliefs, from the common-sense model, prospectively predict adherence to self-management behaviours?: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2016)
Journal Article

Objective: To determine whether people’s beliefs about their illness, conceptualised by the common sense model (CSM), can prospectively predict adherence to self-management behaviours (including, attendance, medication, diet and exercise) in adults w...
