Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1). AstroVink: A vision transformer approach to find strong gravitational lens systems
Euclid Collaboration, S. H. Vincken, K. Rojas +302
We present AstroVink, a vision transformer classifier designed for automated identification of strong lens candidates in Euclid imaging. We build upon the DINOv2 encoder, fine tune…
Euclid: Discovery of bright Lyman-break galaxies in UltraVISTA and Euclid COSMOS
R. G. Varadaraj, R. A. A. Bowler, M. J. Jarvis +163
We present a search for Lyman-break galaxies using the near-infrared UltraVISTA survey in the COSMOS field, reaching depths in of 26.2.…
Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1). From simulations to sky: Advancing machine-learning lens detection with real Euclid data
Euclid Collaboration, N. E. P. Lines, T. E. Collett +301
In the era of large-scale surveys like Euclid, machine learning has become an essential tool for identifying rare yet scientifically valuable objects, such as strong gravitational…
Does Machine Learning Work? A Comparative Analysis of Strong Gravitational Lens Searches in the Dark Energy Survey
J. Gonzalez, T. Collett, K. Rojas +9
We present a systematic comparison of three independent machine learning (ML)-based searches for strong gravitational lenses applied to the Dark Energy Survey (Jacobs et al. 2019a,…
The revolution in strong lensing discoveries from Euclid
Natalie E. P. Lines, Tian Li, Thomas E. Collett +5
Strong gravitational lensing offers a powerful and direct probe of dark matter, galaxy evolution and cosmology, yet strong lenses are rare: only 1 in roughly 10,000 massive galaxie…
Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1). The Strong Lensing Discovery Engine C: Finding lenses with machine learning
Euclid Collaboration, N. E. P. Lines, T. E. Collett +350
Strong gravitational lensing has the potential to provide a powerful probe of astrophysics and cosmology, but fewer than 1000 strong lenses have been confirmed so far. With a 0.16'…
