Euclid: Calibrating distances from surface brightness fluctuations with Early Release Observations of the Fornax cluster
R. Habas, M. Cantiello, G. Riccio +169
Surface brightness fluctuations (SBF), the pixel-to-pixel variations in flux that arise from the statistical distribution of stars in galaxy images, provide a powerful tool to meas…
Euclid: Early Release Observations -- Internal kinematics and the convective-transition gap of NGC 6397
M. Griggio, M. Libralato, R. Gerasimov +130
We present a 'multiple-pass' data-reduction tool designed for Euclid, based on software developed for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), which improves the astrometric and photometr…
The contribution of the color space in LSST-like photometry for the selection of extragalactic globular cluster candidates
Nicholas Schweder-Souza, Ana L. Chies-Santos, Rafael S. de Souza +16
Globular clusters (GCs) are excellent tracers of their host galaxies' evolutionary histories. Traditional methods for identifying GCs in galaxies rely on cuts over photometric cata…
Euclid: Galaxy morphology and photometry from bulge-disc decomposition of Early Release Observations
L. Quilley, V. de Lapparent, M. Bolzonella +168
The background galaxies in Euclid ERO images of the Perseus cluster make up a remarkable sample in its combination of 0.57 deg area, 25.3 and 23.2 AB mag depth, as well as 0.1"…
Machine Learning Assisted NEO Discovery and Polarimetric Characterisation with Astronomical Surveys
G. A. Verdoes Kleijn, T. Grobler, S. J. Chong +12
We are a group of over two dozen astronomers, computer scientists, data scientists and digital Big Data research platform experts at 11 universities and research institutes in Sout…
Euclid: Early Release Observations -- The star-formation history of massive early-type galaxies in the Perseus cluster
S. Martocchia, A. Boselli, J. -C. Cuillandre +157
The Euclid Early Release Observations (ERO) programme targeted the Perseus galaxy cluster in its central region over 0.7deg. We combined the exceptional image quality and depth…
