The Planck Simulator

The Planck Simulator provides synthetic sky maps of the Cosmic Microwave Background. A short description of the scientific goals of the Planck satellite mission can be found here.

The Planck Simulator allows to enter a variety of parameters which describe the assumed cosmology and allows to include a number of foreground emission processes. A detailed description of the available options can be found here.
