It has been long recognised that, besides being a formidable experiment to observe the primordial CMB anisotropies, Planck will also have the capability to detect galaxy clusters via their SZ imprint. In this paper constraints on cosmological parameters derivable from the Planck cluster candidate sample are examined for the first time as a function of cluster sample selection and purity obtained from realistic simulations of the microwave sky at the Planck observing frequency bands, observation process modelling and a cluster extraction pipeline. In particular, we employ a multi-frequency matched filtering (MFMF) method to recover clusters from mock simulations of Planck observations. Obtainable cosmological constraints under realistic assumptions of priors and knowledge about cluster redshifts are discussed. Just relying on cluster redshift abundances without making use of recovered cluster fluxes, it is shown that from the Planck cluster catalogue cosmological constraints comparable to the ones derived from recent primordial CMB power spectrum measurements can be achieved. For example, for a concordance $\Lambda$CDM model and a redshift binning of $\Delta z = 0.1$, the $1\sigma$ uncertainties on the values of $\Omega_m$ and $\sigma_8$ are $\Delta \Omega_m \approx 0.031$ and $\Delta \sigma_8 \approx 0.014$ respectively. Furthermore, we find that the constraint of the matter density depends strongly on the prior which can be imposed on the Hubble parameter by other observational means.

We examine the ability of the future Planck mission to provide a catalogue of galaxy clusters observed via their SZ distortion in the cosmic microwave background. For this purpose we produce full-sky SZ maps based on N-body simulations and scaling relations between cluster properties for several cosmological models. We extrapolate the N-body simulations by a mass function to high redshifts in order to obtain a realistic SZ background. The simulated Planck observations include...

We present a new cosmological analysis of the galaxy clusters in the Planck MMF3 cosmology sample with a cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing calibration of the cluster masses. As demonstrated by Planck, galaxy clusters detected via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect offer a powerful way to constrain cosmological parameters such as $\Omega_{\mathrm{m}}$ and $\sigma_8$. Determining the absolute cluster mass scale is, however, difficult, and some recent calibrations have y...

We present constraints on cosmological parameters using number counts as a function of redshift for a sub-sample of 189 galaxy clusters from the Planck SZ (PSZ) catalogue. The PSZ is selected through the signature of the Sunyaev--Zeldovich (SZ) effect, and the sub-sample used here has a signal-to-noise threshold of seven, with each object confirmed as a cluster and all but one with a redshift estimate. We discuss the completeness of the sample and our construction of a likeli...

Multi-frequency matched filters (MMFs) are routinely used to detect galaxy clusters from CMB data through the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect, leading to cluster catalogues that can be used for cosmological inference. In order to be applied, MMFs require knowledge of the cross-frequency power spectra of the noise in the maps. This is typically estimated from the data and taken to be equal to the power spectra of the data, assuming the contribution from the tSZ signal o...

We present the first all-sky sample of galaxy clusters detected blindly by the Planck satellite through the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect from its six highest frequencies. This early SZ (ESZ) sample is comprised of 189 candidates, which have a high signal-to-noise ratio ranging from 6 to 29. Its high reliability (purity above 95%) is further ensured by an extensive validation process based on Planck internal quality assessments and by external cross-identification and follow-...

We present cluster counts and corresponding cosmological constraints from the Planck full mission data set. Our catalogue consists of 439 clusters detected via their Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signal down to a signal-to-noise ratio of 6, and is more than a factor of 2 larger than the 2013 Planck cluster cosmology sample. The counts are consistent with those from 2013 and yield compatible constraints under the same modelling assumptions. Taking advantage of the larger catalogue, w...

We show how one may expect a significant number of SZ detections in future Planck data without any of the typical assumptions needed in present component separation methods, such as about the power spectrum or the frequency dependence of any of the components, circular symmetry or a typical scale for the clusters. We reduce the background by subtracting an estimate of the point sources, dust and CMB. The final SZE map is estimated in Fourier space. The catalogue of returned c...

Galaxy clusters detected through the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect are a powerful cosmological probe from which constraints on cosmological parameters such as $\Omega_{\mathrm{m}}$ and $\sigma_8$ can be derived. The measured cluster tSZ signal can be, however, contaminated by Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) emission, as the CIB is spatially correlated with the cluster tSZ field. We quantify the extent of this contamination by applying the iterative multi-frequency m...

We analysed the 3D clustering of the Planck sample of Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) selected galaxy clusters, focusing on the redshift-space two-point correlation function (2PCF). We compared our measurements to theoretical predictions of the standard $\Lambda$ cold dark matter ($\Lambda$CDM) cosmological model, deriving an estimate of the Planck mass bias, $b_{\mathrm SZ}$, and cosmological parameters. We measured the 2PCF of the sample in the cluster-centric radial range $r\in[10,...
