(0)

Maggie Lieu is an ESAC research fellow working on Euclid, a visible and near-infrared space telescope due to launch in 2021. By measuring the shapes of distant galaxies we can determine the mass of the largest systems in the Universe, galaxy clusters. Euclid will achieve unprecedented shape measurements of galaxies covering almost half of the extragalactic sky.Maggie is developing statistical methods to deal with this upcoming big, noisy dataset, so that we can better understand the physics of galaxy clusters and theirrolein the Dark Universe.

  1. Right on, I'll keep a lookout for you when I'm warping through the Terran system,… you see the galaxies as cosmic probes, you'll be amazed how many probes we have just in your system alone,… Good luck with your future and who knows, you may see my exiting warp one day.
