Abstract The ERO programme is an initiative of ESA and the Euclid Science Team to collect one day of observations to showcase the Euclid mission and its capabilities before the start of the nominal survey. These observations are not part of the nominal survey and address legacy science
Description The Euclid Early Release Observations (EROs) is the first public release of Euclid early observations to the scientific community. It showcases Euclid’s capabilities and it includes 24 hours of observations made prior to the start of the main nominal wide survey. The data encompass 17 astronomical objects, ranging from galaxy clusters, nearby galaxies, and globular clusters to nearby star-forming regions. Euclid Observation Ids = 65630, 65631, 65638, 65639, 65657, 65658, 65659, 65660, 65681,65682, 65683, 65700, 65769, 65770, 65771, 65788, 65789, 65790, 65791, 65889, 65890, 65891, 65892, 65902

Mission Description Euclid is an ESA science mission that was launched on the 1st of July 2023 to survey one third of the extragalactic sky with the aim to investigate the origin of the accelerating expansion of the Universe and the nature of dark energy, dark matter and gravity. Euclid will map the geometry of the Universe, and reconstruct the evolution of large-scale sctructures over the past 10 billion years.
