Euclid. Properties and performance of the NISP signal estimator
Euclid Collaboration, F. Cogato, B. Kubik +292
The Euclid spacecraft, located at the second Lagrangian point of the Sun-Earth system, hosts the Near-Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) instrument. NISP is equipped with…
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 preparation: The NISP spectroscopy channel, on ground performance and calibration
Euclid Collaboration, W. Gillard, T. Maciaszek +356
ESA's Euclid cosmology mission relies on the very sensitive and accurately calibrated spectroscopy channel of the Near-Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP). With three opera…
Euclid preparation. Overview of Euclid infrared detector performance from ground tests
Euclid Collaboration, B. Kubik, R. Barbier +341
The paper describes the objectives, design and findings of the pre-launch ground characterisation campaigns of the Euclid infrared detectors. The pixel properties, including baseli…
Euclid VI. NISP-P optical ghosts
Euclid Collaboration, K. Paterson, M. Schirmer +309
The Near-Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) onboard Euclid includes several optical elements in its path, which introduce artefacts into the data from non-nominal light pa…
Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1): From images to multiwavelength catalogues: the Euclid MERge Processing Function
Euclid Collaboration, E. Romelli, M. Kümmel +345
The Euclid satellite is an ESA mission that was launched in July 2023. \Euclid is working in its regular observing mode with the target of observing an area of $14\,000~\text{deg}^…
