    Abstract

    The European Space Agency's Planck satellite, dedicated to studying the early Universe and its subsequent evolution, was launched 14{\textasciitilde}May 2009and scanned the microwave and submillimetre sky continuously between12{\textasciitilde}August 2009 and 23{\textasciitilde}October 2013. In February{\textasciitilde}2015, ESA and the PlanckCollaboration released the second set of cosmology products based ondata from the entire Planck mission, including both temperature andpolarization, along with a set of scientific and technical papers and aweb-based explanatory supplement. This paper gives an overview of themain characteristics of the data and the data products in the release,as well as the associated cosmological and astrophysical science resultsand papers. The science products include maps of the cosmic microwavebackground (CMB), the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect, and diffuseforegrounds in temperature and polarization, catalogues of compactGalactic and extragalactic sources (including separate catalogues ofSunyaev-Zeldovich clusters and Galactic cold clumps), and extensivesimulations of signals and noise used in assessing the performance ofthe analysis methods and assessment of uncertainties. The likelihoodcode used to assess cosmological models against the Planck data aredescribed, as well as a CMB lensing likelihood. Scientific resultsinclude cosmological parameters deriving from CMB power spectra,gravitational lensing, and cluster counts, as well as constraints oninflation, non-Gaussianity, primordial magnetic fields, dark energy, andmodified gravity.
