Euclid preparation. Refining input galaxy shape distributions for shear calibration simulations
Euclid Collaboration, H. Jansen, N. Martinet +282
The Euclid Wide Survey (EWS) will cover the majority of the extragalactic sky with a resolution similar to the Hubble Space Telescope. This unprecedented data set will introduce a…
Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1): VIS processing and data products
Euclid Collaboration, H. J. McCracken, K. Benson +377
This paper describes the VIS Processing Function (VIS PF) of the Euclid ground segment pipeline, which processes and calibrates raw data from the VIS camera. We present the algorit…
Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1) -- Data release overview
Euclid Collaboration, H. Aussel, I. Tereno +407
The first Euclid Quick Data Release, Q1, comprises 63.1 sq deg of the Euclid Deep Fields (EDFs) to nominal wide-survey depth. It encompasses visible and near-infrared space-based i…
Euclid preparation LX. The use of HST images as input for weak-lensing image simulations
Euclid Collaboration, D. Scognamiglio, T. Schrabback +245
Data from the Euclid space telescope will enable cosmic shear measurements with very small statistical errors, requiring corresponding systematic error control level. A common appr…
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. LIII. LensMC, weak lensing cosmic shear measurement with forward modelling and Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling
Euclid Collaboration, G. Congedo, L. Miller +239
LensMC is a weak lensing shear measurement method developed for Euclid and Stage-IV surveys. It is based on forward modelling in order to deal with convolution by a point spread fu…
