Euclid Reference Publications: the Flagship Simulations

In our final post on the Euclid Consortium’s new set of reference papers we are turning to an essential part, the final ingredient to enable Euclid’s cosmology goal: Paper 5 (Euclid. V. The Flagship galaxy mock catalogue: a comprehensive simulation for the Euclid mission, Euclid Collaboration: Castander et al. 2024) is about the newly completed cosmological simulation, the Euclid Flagship Simulation, providing a fully-controlled input for testing and characterising the Euclid science pipeline.

Structural display of amorphous ice

Euclid de-icing campaign #2

As we have described before, there is humidity – water – in every spacecraft. And this humidity will turn to ice in the cold and vacuum of space. Euclid is no exception to this. If this humidity collects on optical surfaces like mirrors, it will affect the optical performance of a space telescope. For this reason Euclid will undergo a second targeted de-icing process over the next days.
