Abstract

The Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) at millimetric wavelengths of planets is an important benchmark to intercalibrate different CMB experiments, to properly calibrate the beam pattern and it is a source of information on the atmospheric structure of those bodies. Despite their importance, there is a lack of very accurate measures of SED for those bodies. Planck/LFI observed Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, which where observed from three to eight times during the mission determining, as an example, Tb for Jupiter with an accuracy better than half percent, improving the results currently quoted in literature. In this communication we present and discuss some of those results comparing them with WMAP.
