Figure	Short description
	The 2018 Planck maps in Intensity, from 30 to 857 GHz [July 2018]
	The 2018 Planck maps in polarization (Stokes Q, U, and polarized amplitude P) [July 2018]
	The 2018 Planck map of the temeprature anisotropies of the CMB, extracted using the SMICA method. The gray outline shows the extent of the confidence mask. [July 2018]
	The 2018 Planck map of the polarized CMB anisotropies, shown as rods whose direction and length represent the direction and amplitude of polarized CMB. The colored background is the map of intensity anisotropies, smoothed to 5 degrees. [July 2018]
	The 2018 Planck lensing map derived from the E-model lensing deflection angles. [July 2018]
	The Planck 2018 angular power spectra of the CMB (TT, TE, EE), and of the lensing potential (bottom right). The blue line is a best-fit model to temperature and polarization data. [July 2018]
	Planck 2018 constraints on the tensor-to-scalar ratio r_0.002in the ΛCDM model, using Planck TT,TE,EE+lowE and Planck TT,TE,EE+lowE+lensing (red and green respectively), and joint constraint with BAO and 2014 BICEP2/Keck (blue). [July 2018]
	Marginalized joint 68% and 95% CL regions for ns and r at k = 0.002 Mpc−1 from 2018 Planck data alone and in combination with BK14 or BK14 plus BAO data compared to the theoretical predictions of selected inflationary models. [July 2018]
	Evolution of CMB constraints on parameters describing “early Universe physics,” specifically the amount of primordial, local non-Gaussianity (fNL), the tensor-to-scalar ratio (r), and the slope of the primordial power spectrum (ns). [July 2018]
	Evolution of CMB constraints on parameters describing “late time physics,” specifically the matter density (ωm ≡ Ωmh2), the baryon density (ωb ≡ Ωbh2), the acoustic scale (θ∗), the normalization of the (linear theory) matter power spectrum (σ₈), the dimensionless Hubble constant (h), and the Thomson optical depth (τ). [July 2018]
	The (linear theory) matter power spectrum (at z = 0) inferred from different cosmological probes. [July 2018]
