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 Quick Data Release (Q1). AgileLens: A scalable CNN-based pipeline for strong gravitational lens identification
Euclid Collaboration, X. Xu, R. Chen +308
We present an end-to-end, iterative pipeline for efficient identification of strong galaxy--galaxy lensing systems, applied to the Euclid Q1 imaging data. Starting from VIS catalog…
Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1). The Strong Lensing Discovery Engine F -- Bright and low-redshift strong lenses
Euclid Collaboration, L. R. Ecker, M. Fabricius +346
We present 72 additional galaxy-galaxy strong lenses that complement the sample discovered in the Euclid Quick Release 1 data (63.1 deg^2) of the Strong Lens Discovery Engine (SLDE…
Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1). Searching for giant gravitational arcs in galaxy clusters with mask region-based convolutional neural networks
Euclid Collaboration, L. Bazzanini, G. Angora +306
Strong gravitational lensing (SL) by galaxy clusters is a powerful probe of their inner mass distribution and a key test bed for cosmological models. However, the detection of SL e…
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…
Cosmic chronometers with galaxy clusters: a new avenue for multi-probe cosmology
E. Tomasetti, M. Moresco, G. Granata +9
We provide a new measurement of the expansion history of the Universe at with the cosmic chronometers (CC) method, exploiting the high-quality spectroscopic VLT/MUSE data…
