The European Space Agency’s Euclid mission released its first batch of survey data, including a preview of its deep fields.
Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms in combination with citizen science campaigns, the Euclid Consortium scientific results include the discovery of strong gravitational lensing systems, the exploration of galaxy clusters and the cosmic web, the characterisation of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and quasars, studies on galaxy evolution and morphology, and the identification of numerous dwarf galaxies and transients.
Spain has an important role in the Euclid mission, with a prominent role in the Consortium that has led the mission from its origin as well as the development of its instrumentation, data processing and scientific exploitation.
PIC is one of the nine data centers of the mission, in charge of implementing and running the data processing pipelines, as well as generating and distributing the Euclid Flagship mock catalog.
