Scientists of the Euclid Consortium announce the release of the largest simulated galaxy catalogue ever built

Euclid • News Release • July 31st, 2017

A key ingredient in order to prepare the scientific exploitation of the Euclid dataset is the development of synthetic observations of the real survey: a cosmological simulation that matches the expected volume and complexity of the real data. In a massive coordinated effort, a team of scientists...

Dan Masters won the STAR prize for the biggest impact by a postdoc in the Euclid consortium

Euclid • News Release • June 16th, 2017

Daniel works on developing techniques to measure distances to the more than a billion galaxies that will be imaged by Euclid, an ESA-led space mission focused on understanding the nature of dark energy. The method he developed uses an advanced machine learning technique to map the true...
