We present the all-sky Planck catalogue of Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) sources detected from the 29 month full-mission data. The catalogue (PSZ2) is the largest SZ-selected sample of galaxy clusters yet produced and the deepest all-sky catalogue of galaxy clusters. It contains 1653 detections, of which 1203 are confirmed clusters with identified counterparts in external data-sets, and is the first SZ-selected cluster survey containing > $10^3$ confirmed clusters. We present a detailed analysis of the survey selection function in terms of its completeness and statistical reliability, placing a lower limit of 83% on the purity. Using simulations, we find that the Y5R500 estimates are robust to pressure-profile variation and beam systematics, but accurate conversion to Y500 requires. the use of prior information on the cluster extent. We describe the multi-wavelength search for counterparts in ancillary data, which makes use of radio, microwave, infra-red, optical and X-ray data-sets, and which places emphasis on the robustness of the counterpart match. We discuss the physical properties of the new sample and identify a population of low-redshift X-ray under- luminous clusters revealed by SZ selection. These objects appear in optical and SZ surveys with consistent properties for their mass, but are almost absent from ROSAT X-ray selected samples.

Empirical estimates of how massive galaxies can be in {\Lambda}CDM
astro-ph.GA 2026-05 conditional novelty 6.0
Corrected empirical limits show the most massive galaxies never exceed the theoretical baryonic maximum of 0.16 times halo virial mass, keeping observations consistent with LambdaCDM at all redshifts.

Empirical estimates of how massive galaxies can be in {\Lambda}CDM
astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0
Empirical upper limits on galaxy stellar masses from extreme value statistics, after correcting for Eddington bias and halo mass scatter, remain below the theoretical baryonic maximum of 0.16 times halo mass at all re...

Limit on high energy neutrino emission from Abell 119 using IceCube 10-year muon track data
astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0
Upper limit on muon neutrinos from Abell 119 is 1.2 times below the flux predicted for hadronic gamma-ray production, marginally excluding that origin.
