Transient Science with Euclid — Early Results and Prospects
Speaker
Chris Duffy
Abstract
Euclid is a ESA mission launched in 2023 which began survey operations in 2024 using red visible and near infrared observations to explore dark matter and dark energy in order to probe the structure and expansion of the universe. In addition to this, Euclid has a number of secondary scientific goals which can be achieved with its impressive depth, resolution, and wavelength coverage; this includes the study of transient objects.
The first quick data release from Euclid was published in March of 2025 which included ~63 sq. deg of sky coverage over the Euclid Deep Fields. I will present the results from this data used to study known transient objects serendipitously observed by Euclid. I will go on to discuss the importance of these results in demonstrating Euclid’s capability in the transient space. I will conclude by discussing the future of transient science with Euclid including opportunities to coordinate with other transient searches,
