SUMMARY

The Planck satellite is set to publish its all-sky Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) map, with foregrounds deducted, between late 2012 and early 2013. This release is anticipated to bring significant advancements in cosmology, potentially leading to revolutionary insights into the early universe. The discussion highlights the lack of scheduled events on the Planck website beyond August 2011, raising questions about the exact timeline for the data release.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation
  • Familiarity with cosmological data analysis techniques
  • Knowledge of astronomical observation methods
  • Awareness of the Planck satellite mission and its objectives
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of the Cosmic Microwave Background on cosmology
  • Explore data analysis techniques specific to CMB data
  • Learn about the Planck satellite's mission and its scientific contributions
  • Investigate the significance of foreground subtraction in astronomical data
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, cosmologists, astrophysicists, and researchers interested in the early universe and the implications of CMB data on our understanding of cosmology.

If I'm correct Planck will publish its all-sky CMB map (foreground deducted) this year. What's to be expected from this? Is another revolution coming?

If you go on their website calendar there are no events scheduled beyond Aug 2011 and release of CMB data isn't on there. I wonder if it will be 2012. Anyone know any dates?

It'll be released a little under two years from now (near the end of 2012 to the beginning of 2013).
