Euclid legacy science prospects

TL;DR

Euclid will generate extensive, high-quality imaging and spectroscopic data, enabling a wide range of scientific research in galaxy evolution, the early universe, stellar populations, supernovae, Solar System objects, exoplanets, and gravitational lensing.

Contribution

This paper reviews the scientific prospects and expected outputs of Euclid's legacy catalogues across multiple astrophysical domains.

Findings

Euclid will significantly advance galaxy and AGN evolution studies.

The mission will provide valuable data on the local and early universe.

Euclid's data will impact studies of the Milky Way, supernovae, and exoplanets.

Abstract

With the immense number of images, data, and sources that Euclid will deliver, the consortium will be in a unique position to create/provide/construct legacy catalogues. The latter will have exquisite imaging quality and good near-infrared spectroscopy, with impact on many areas of galaxy science. These proceedings review the prospects and scientific output that Euclid will be able to achieve in areas of galaxy and active galactic nucleus (AGN) evolution, the local and primeval Universe, studies of the Milky Way and stellar populations, supernovae (SN) and transients, Solar System objects, exoplanets, strong lensing and galaxy clusters.
