Planck intermediate results. XLVI. Reduction of large-scale systematic effects in HFI polarization maps and estimation of the reionization optical depth (2016, unknown): “13 of Lamarre et al. (2010) present details and an explanation of the shape, which varies from bolometer to bolometer and also changes slowly throughout the mission.”
Simultaneous Planck, Swift, and Fermi observations of X-ray and γ-ray selected blazars (2011, unknown): “The High Frequency Instrument (HFI; Lamarre et al. 2010; Planck HFI Core Team 2011a) covers the 100, 143, 217, 353, 545, and 857 GHz bands with bolometers cooled to 0.1 K. Polarization is measured in all but the highest two bands (Leahy et al. 2010; Rosset et al. 2010).”
Herschel-Planck dust optical-depth and column-density maps - I. Method description and results for Orion (2014, unknown): “Most relevant to the study of thermal dust-emission from molecular clouds, the High Frequency Instrument (HFI; Lamarre et al. 2010; Planck HFI Core Team 2011) covers the 100 GHz, 143 GHz, 217 GHz, 353 GHz, 545 GHz, and 857 GHz (or 3000 µm, 2100 µm, 1400 µm, 850 µm, 550 µm, and 350 µm respectively)…”
Planck intermediate results. XIX. An overview of the polarized thermal emission from Galactic dust (2014, background): “…bands of the Planck Low Frequency Instrument (LFI, Bersanelli et al. 2010), synchrotron emission dominates; at the highest frequencies, from the 217 GHz to 857 GHz bands of the High Frequency Instrument (HFI, Lamarre et al. 2010), thermal emission from interstellar dust is the dominant emission.”
Planck Pre-Launch Status: The Planck Mission (2010, methodology): “The bolometers and readout system of HFI are intrinsically extremely stable (Lamarre et al. 2010), and the main instabilities that will affect the HFI are of thermal origin.”
Planck intermediate results: XXXV. Probing the role of the magnetic field in the formation of structure in molecular clouds (2015, unknown): “In this study, we used data from the High Frequency Instrument (HFI, Lamarre et al. 2010) at 353 GHz, the highest frequency band that is sensitive to polarization.”
