摘要:We present a set of realistic all-sky maps of radio and IR sources based on existing catalogues,
extrapolated to Planck frequencies. The observational information on spectral behaviour and
polarization properties of sources has been exploited. Up to date models have been used to extend
the maps beyond the flux limits of available surveys. Our maps could be very useful for testing
the efficiency of source extraction and component separation algorithms as well as to assess the
prospects for detecting primordial non-Gaussianities in CMB maps in the presence of point source
contamination.
