Status of the Euclid mission in flight

Description :

Euclid is an ESA mission aiming at studying the geometry and nature of the dark Universe. Over a span of six years, Euclid will meticulously survey nearly 15,000 square degrees of the extragalactic sky. Equipped with optical capabilities spanning from 530 to 920 nanometers and near-infrared imaging in Y, J, and H bands, as well as slitless spectroscopy ranging from 1206 to 1892 nanometers, Euclid will capture detailed data on distant galaxies between redshift of 0.84 and 2. Launched successfully on July 1, 2023, Euclid was placed in orbit around the second Lagrange point where both of its cutting-edge instruments, the VIS and the NISP, underwent meticulous commissioning and calibration over the initial six months of the mission. As the Euclid survey commenced in February 2024, this presentation will provide insights into the mission's status at Lagrange 2 and showcase the initial scientific images and results captured by both instruments.
