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 preparation. The Cosmic Dawn Survey (DAWN) of the Euclid Deep and Auxiliary Fields
Euclid Collaboration, C. J. R. McPartland, L. Zalesky +288
Euclid will provide deep NIR imaging to 26.5 AB magnitude over 59 deg in its deep and auxiliary fields. The Cosmic DAWN survey complements the deep Euclid data with…
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…
