At the @ec-euclid.bsky.social meeting, Pietro Bergamini showing narrow-band spectroscopic images of gravitational arcs - like from the beautiful galaxy cluster gravitational lens in his title slide here. The curved arcs are background galaxies seen through warped spacetime 🧪🔭

Also congratulations to ELSA member and working group leader Ben Granett for winning the Euclid star prize for a senior scientist! Ben's 2d spectral extraction software GELSA, developed for the ELSA project, is having a huge impact within @ec-euclid.bsky.social 🧪🔭 www.euclid-ec.org/consortium/s...

Would you like to rummage data from the Euclid space telescope, and uncover cosmic nurseries where stars like our Sun are born? We're delighted to announce our new @ec-euclid.bsky.social @zooniverse.bsky.social citizen science project, Galaxy Zoo Clump Scout 2 🧪🔭 www.zooniverse.org/projects/hug...

The ELSA @ec-euclid.bsky.social team meeting this week in beautiful Bologna. Amazing things being done with Euclid spectroscopy - watch this space :) 🧪🔭

Paper day!! Very nice ELSA @ec-euclid.bsky.social result by Fabrizio Gentile and team, using Euclid's huge dataset to unpick how galaxies' star formation, environment and morphology are connected. Just accepted by A&A 🧪🔭 arxiv.org/abs/2511.02964

The two pathways to forming a present-day quiescent spheroid, starting from a star forming disc: field galaxies start with secular bulge formation to make a star-forming spheroid, then internal quenching finished the job, but galaxies in high-density environments start with environmental quenching to make a quiescent disc galaxy, then morphological transformation finishes the job to end again in a quiescent spheroid.

Our ELSA meeting conference, after a few days playing with Euclid @ec-euclid.bsky.social spectroscopy. We're enjoying the cognitive dissonance of being in a 18th century building working on a 21st century space telescope 🧪🔭

16 astronomers standing outside an ivy-clad old building that looks like it's out of Downton Abbey. The astronomers are not in period dress but maybe that's an idea for next time.

Goldney House picture from www.bristol.ac.uk/venues/meeti... - the room we're in is slightly smaller than this one, but still beautiful

Our annual ELSA meeting has kicked off! Beautiful location in Bristol University’s Goldney House, which looks like it’s straight out of Downtown Abbey

The Euclid consortium have a big spash coming tomorrow... Watch this space for the first results from Thursday, 23 May, 12:00 CEST, and shortly afterwards on arXiv... #EuclidLeaks #science #astronomy #astrodon #space 🔭🧪

This week is also the #Euclid Galaxy/AGN Evolution meeting in Bologna, where our PI Margherita presented the project. Audience Q: how to engage volunteers on the hard problem of slitless spectra, eg Galaxy Nurseries was tricky for volunteers? 🧪🔭

Some beautiful logo options! Not yet proper to share in public, but excellent work by a graphic artist who will work up some final options for voting on. Finally our first formal ELSA General Assembly!

Our PI, Margherita Talia, kicking things off with an intro to Euclid and our project. We proposed it before Euclid’s launch - since then Euclid launched successfully and the first images are beautiful www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

Looking forward to our kick-off meeting this week in Bologna, where also our friends in the strong gravitational lensing and galaxy/AGN evolution working groups are meeting. It’ll be quite the ESA Euclid get-together! 🧪🔭 eventi.unibo.it/elsa-kom-2024
