Abstract: We present Planck-low-py, a binned low-` temperature and E-mode polarization likelihood, as an option to facilitate ease of use of the Planck 2018 large-scale data in joint-probe analysis and forecasting. It is written in Python and compresses the ` < 30 temperature and polarization angular power spectra information from Planck into two log-normal bins in temperature and three in polarization. These angular scales constrain the optical depth to reionization and provide a lever arm to constrain the tilt of the primordial power spectrum. We show that cosmological constraints on ΛCDM model parameters using Planck-low-py are consistent with those derived with the full Commander and SimAll likelihoods from the Planck legacy release.
