Description
Understanding the nature of dark matter and dark energy remains one of the greatest challenges in modern cosmology. The European Space Agency's Euclid mission aims to address these mysteries by mapping the large-scale structure of the Universe and investigating how cosmic structures have evolved over billions of years.
In this presentation, I will introduce the scientific goals of Euclid, its instruments, and how its observations can help us better understand the dark Universe. I will then briefly discuss some of the instrumental challenges involved in obtaining the high-precision measurements required for cosmological studies.
In particular, I will focus on my research on the Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP), investigating detector persistence, an effect in which previous exposures leave residual signals in subsequent observations. Understanding and correcting such systematic effects is essential for improving data quality and ensuring the reliability of Euclid's scientific results.
