Abstract
Résumé

The Planck mission prime objective was a very accurate and complete measurement of the temperature anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Cosmological results from the intensity data of the nominal mission of a duration of 15 months were disclosed on 21 March 2013. Fortunately, the satellite kept acquiring data for at least twice longer, and we announced in February 2015 new results based on all the data acquired, both in temperature and polarization. I provide a short overview of the latest data and findings of most interest for inflation, as a basis for the other contributions to this volume. This overview is entirely based on the published or submitted works of the Planck collaboration.

L'objectif premier de la mission Planck était de mesurer de manière très précise et complète les anisotropies de température du fond de rayonnement cosmique. Les résultats cosmologiques obtenus à partir des données d'intensité de la mission dite « nominale », d'une durée de 15 mois, ont été rendus publics le 21 mars 2013. Fort heureusement, le satellite a continué à acquérir des données pendant au moins deux fois plus longtemps, et nous avons annoncé en février 2015 une nouvelle série de résultats basés sur toutes les données collectées, aussi bien en température qu'en polarisation. Le texte présente de manière succincte ces dernières données et découvertes d'intérêt pour l'étude de l'inflation, ce qui fournira une base aux autres contributions de ce dossier. Ce résumé est entièrement fondé sur les travaux publiés ou soumis par la collaboration Planck.
