We present cosmological parameter results from the final full-mission Planck measurements of CMB anisotropies. find good consistency with standard spatially-flat 6-parameter $\Lambda$CDM cosmology having a power-law spectrum adiabatic scalar perturbations (denoted "base $\Lambda$CDM" in this paper), polarization, temperature, and lensing, separately combination. A combined analysis gives dark matter density $\Omega_c h^2 = 0.120\pm 0.001$, baryon $\Omega_b 0.0224\pm 0.0001$, spectral index...

We present the first results based on Planck measurements of CMB temperature and lensing-potential power spectra. The spectra at high multipoles are extremely well described by standard spatially-flat six-parameter LCDM cosmology. In this model data determine cosmological parameters to precision. find a low value Hubble constant, H0=67.3+/-1.2 km/s/Mpc matter density parameter, Omega_m=0.315+/-0.017 (+/-1 sigma errors) in excellent agreement with constraints from baryon acoustic oscillation...

The European Space Agency's Planck satellite, which was dedicated to studying the early Universe and its subsequent evolution, launched on 14 May 2009. It scanned microwave submillimetre sky continuously between 12 August 2009 23 October 2013, producing deep, high-resolution, all-sky maps in nine frequency bands from 30 857GHz. This paper presents cosmological legacy of Planck, currently provides our strongest constraints parameters standard model some tightest limits available deviations...

We analyse the implications of Planck data for cosmic inflation. The nominal mission temperature anisotropy measurements, combined with WMAP large-angle polarization, constrain scalar spectral index to $n_s = 0.9603 \pm 0.0073$, ruling out exact scale invariance at over 5 $\sigma$. establishes an upper bound on tensor-to-scalar ratio r < 0.11 (95% CL). thus shrink space allowed standard inflationary models, preferring potentials V" 0.

(Abridged) We have conducted a detailed investigation of the broad-band spectral properties \gamma-ray selected blazars Fermi LAT Bright AGN Sample (LBAS). By combining our accurately estimated gamma-ray spectra with Swift, radio, infra-red, optical and other hard X-ray/gamma-ray data, collected within three months LBAS data taking period, we were able to assemble high-quality quasi-simultaneous Spectral Energy Distributions (SED) for 48 blazars.The SED these sources is similar that...
Designed as a high-sensitivity gamma-ray observatory, the Fermi Large Area Telescope is also an electron detector with large acceptance exceeding 2 m;{2} sr at 300 GeV. Building on analysis, we have developed efficient detection strategy which provides sufficient background rejection for measurement of steeply falling spectrum up to 1 TeV. Our high precision data show that falls energy E-3.0 and does not exhibit prominent spectral features. Interpretations in terms conventional diffusive...
We describe the legacy Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) likelihoods derived from 2018 data release. The overall approach is similar in spirit to one retained for 2013 and 2015 release, with a hybrid method using different approximations at low ( ℓ < 30) high ≥ multipoles, implementing several methodological data-analysis refinements compared previous releases. With more realistic simulations, better correction modelling of systematic effects, we can now make full use CMB...
This paper presents the Planck 2015 likelihoods, statistical descriptions of 2-point correlations CMB data, using hybrid approach employed previously: pixel-based at $\ell<30$ and a Gaussian approximation to distribution spectra higher $\ell$. The main improvements are use more better processed data polarization detailed foreground instrumental models, allowing further checks enhanced immunity systematics. Progress in modelling enables larger sky fraction. Improvements processing models...
We study the implications of Planck data for models dark energy (DE) and modified gravity (MG), beyond cosmological constant scenario. start with cases where DE only directly affects background evolution, considering Taylor expansions equation state, principal component analysis parameterizations related to potential a minimally coupled scalar field. When estimating density at early times, we significantly improve present constraints. then move general or MG perturbations that encompass both...
