제목 : Introduction to the Euclid Space Telescope: Exploring the Dark Universe with Weak Gravitational Lensing 

초록 : The Euclid space telescope, launched on 1st July 2023 and led by the European Space Agency, is a survey mission to understand the origin of the Universe’s accelerating expansion. Euclid will map both visible and invisible large-scale structures with visible and near-infrared imaging and spectroscopy surveys, covering over one-third of the sky in six years. Euclid will constrain the properties of dark energy and dark matter with high precision via weak gravitational lensing and galaxy clustering. In this talk, I will introduce the mission's scientific goals, instruments, orbits, survey plans, and the preliminary results from the commissioning and performance verification phase. I focus on my involvement in the mission, testing and implementing the point spread function.
