Euclid preparation LXXIX. Using mock low surface brightness dwarf galaxies to probe Euclid Wide Survey detection capabilities

Euclid Collaboration, M. Urbano, P. -A. Duc +313

Local Universe dwarf galaxies can serve as both cosmological and mass assembly probes. Deep surveys have enabled the study of these objects down to the low surface brightness (LSB)…

Euclid preparation. Calibrated intrinsic galaxy alignments in the Euclid Flagship simulation

Euclid Collaboration, K. Hoffmann, R. Paviot +298

Intrinsic alignments of galaxies are potentially a major contaminant of cosmological analyses of weak gravitational lensing. We construct a semi-analytic model of galaxy ellipticit…
