Euclid: Early Release Observations -- Programme overview and pipeline for compact- and diffuse-emission photometry
J. -C. Cuillandre, E. Bertin, M. Bolzonella +260
The Euclid ERO showcase Euclid's capabilities in advance of its main mission, targeting 17 astronomical objects, from galaxy clusters, nearby galaxies, globular clusters, to star-f…
Euclid. III. The NISP Instrument
Euclid Collaboration, K. Jahnke, W. Gillard +434
The Near-Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) on board the Euclid satellite provides multiband photometry and R>=450 slitless grism spectroscopy in the 950-2020nm wavelength…
Euclid. IV. The NISP Calibration Unit
Euclid Collaboration, F. Hormuth, K. Jahnke +332
The near-infrared calibration unit (NI-CU) on board Euclid's Near-Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) is the first astronomical calibration lamp based on light-emitting dio…
Euclid. II. The VIS Instrument
Euclid Collaboration, M. S. Cropper, A. Al-Bahlawan +432
This paper presents the specification, design, and development of the Visible Camera (VIS) on the ESA Euclid mission. VIS is a large optical-band imager with a field of view of 0.5…
Euclid preparation. XXIX. Water ice in spacecraft part I: The physics of ice formation and contamination
Euclid Collaboration, M. Schirmer, K. Thürmer +218
Molecular contamination is a well-known problem in space flight. Water is the most common contaminant and alters numerous properties of a cryogenic optical system. Too much ice mea…
Euclid: Nonparametric point spread function field recovery through interpolation on a graph Laplacian
M. A. Schmitz, J. -L. Starck, F. Ngole Mboula +35
Context. Future weak lensing surveys, such as the Euclid mission, will attempt to measure the shapes of billions of galaxies in order to derive cosmological information. These surv…
Scientific Synergy Between LSST and Euclid
Jason Rhodes, Robert C. Nichol, Éric Aubourg +34
Euclid and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) are poised to dramatically change the astronomy landscape early in the next decade. The combination of high cadence, deep, wid…
Exploring Cosmic Origins with CORE: Survey requirements and mission design
J. Delabrouille, P. de Bernardis, F. R. Bouchet +200
Future observations of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarisation have the potential to answer some of the most fundamental questions of modern physics and cosmology. In this p…
Exploring Cosmic Origins with CORE: The Instrument
P. de Bernardis, P. A. R. Ade, J. J. A. Baselmans +126
We describe a space-borne, multi-band, multi-beam polarimeter aiming at a precise and accurate measurement of the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background. The instrument is…
VIS: the visible imager for Euclid
Mark Cropper, S. Pottinger, S. Niemi +33
Euclid-VIS is the large format visible imager for the ESA Euclid space mission in their Cosmic Vision program, scheduled for launch in 2020. Together with the near infrared imaging…
Measuring a Charge-Coupled Device Point Spread Function: Euclid Visible Instrument CCD273-84 PSF Performance
Sami-Matias Niemi, Mark Cropper, Magdalena Szafraniec +1
In this paper we present the testing of a back-illuminated development Euclid Visible Instrument (VIS) Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) to measure the intrinsic CCD Point Spread Functio…
Observing Dark Worlds: A crowdsourcing experiment for dark matter mapping
David Harvey, Thomas D. Kitching, Joyce Noah-Vanhoucke +2
We present the results and conclusions from the citizen science competition `Observing Dark Worlds', where we asked participants to calculate the positions of dark matter halos fro…
