submm point sources from the Archeops experiment

Fluxes range from 1 to 10000Jy (at the frequencies covering 143 to 545GHz). All sources are either planets (2) or of galactic origin. The longitude range is from 75 to 198-degrees.

Some of the sources are associated with the well-known Lynds Nebulae and HII compact regions in the galactic plane. A large fraction of the sources have an IRAS counterpart. Except for Jupiter, Saturn, the Crab and Cas A, all sources show a dust-emission-like modified blackbody emission spectrum.

Temperatures cover a range from 7 to 27K. For the coldest sources (T<10K), a steep nu^beta^ emissivity law is found with a surprising beta~3 to 4. An inverse relationship between T and beta is observed.

The number density of sources at 353GHz with flux brighter than 100Jy is of the order of 1 per degree of Galactic longitude. These sources will provide a strong check for the calibration of the Planck HFI focal plane geometry as a complement to planets. These very cold sources observed by Archeops should be prime targets for mapping observations by the Akari and Herschel space missions and ground-based observatories.
