The Euclid telescope, nicknamed ’the detective of the dark Universe’, is today delivering a first sample of scientific data characteristic of its mission (Quick-release 1 or Q1). With highly detailed images of whole sections of the Universe, this space survey, which covers barely 0.5% of the expected complete coverage, is already full of promise. France is playing a leading role through the massive involvement of the CNRS and its laboratories, both in the design and construction of the instruments and in the processing and analysis of the data.
Jenny Sorce from the CRIStAL laboratory is contributing to the Euclid mission mainly by coordinating projects on the evolution of galaxies in relation to their environment and by participating in the analysis of data for these studies.
