| contents | We introduce the Planck SZiFi catalogues, a new set of 10 catalogues of galaxy clusters detected through their thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) signature. The catalogues are produced by applying the SZiFi cluster finder to the Planck PR3 temperature data down to a signal-to-noise threshold of 5. They span three frequency channel combinations (100-857 GHz, 100-545 GHz, and 100-353 GHz) and 7 of them are constructed by spectrally deprojecting the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB). This approach allows us, for the first time in the context of cluster finding, to carefully assess the impact of the cluster-correlated CIB on the recovered cluster tSZ observables, which we find to be negligible. In addition, we quantify the impact of the relativistic corrections to the tSZ signal, finding them to be at the 5-10% level for the cluster tSZ amplitude but negligible for the signal-to-noise. We compile our catalogues into a single Planck SZiFi master catalogue containing a total of 1499 detections. We cross-match the master catalogue with several external tSZ and X-ray cluster catalogues, setting a lower bound on the purity of our baseline catalogue of 95% and 99% at a minimum signal-to-noise of 5 and 6, respectively. We validate our cluster detection pipeline by applying it to synthetic observations, recovering cluster number counts for which we are able to produce a theoretical prediction that accurately describes them. This validation exercise indicates that our catalogues are well-suited for cosmological inference. The Planck SZiFi master catalogue will become publicly available at github.com/inigozubeldia/szifi/tree/main/planck_szifi_master_catalogue. |
