Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect Tomography: Processed Planck Maps and Masks

This package contains two sets of products constructed and used in the Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect Tomography project by Yi-Kuan Chiang, Ryu Makiya, Brice Ménard, and Eiichiro Komatsu.

The first directory is a set of full-sky Planck HFI channel intensity maps from 100 to 353 GHz (Planck Collaboration 2016). We post-processed the maps to remove CMB fluctuations using that constructed in Bobin et al. (2016). The maps are stored using the HEALPix (Górski et al. 2005) scheme with the ring ordering of N_side = 2048. The map unit is MJy/sr.

The second directory is a set of masks, including a 60% Galactic mask, a joint Planck point source mask, and a joint SDSS footprint and veto mask. The masks are in ring ordered HEALPix format of N_side = 2048.
