Conference Proceeding
Cropper, M., Pottinger, S., Azzollini, R., Szafraniec, M., Awan, S., Mellier, Y., …Fazio, G. G. (2018). VIS: the visible imager for Euclid. In Space telescopes and instrumentation 2018 : optical, infrared, and millimeter wave. https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2315372

Euclid-VIS is the large format visible imager for the ESA Euclid space mission in their Cosmic Vision program, scheduled for launch in 2021. Together with the near infrared imaging within the NISP instrument, it forms the basis of the weak lensing me... Read More about VIS: the visible imager for Euclid.
