Summary
Euclid is an ESA mission with NASA involvement to study the geometry and nature of the dark Universe. Euclid launched on 1 July 2023 on SpaceX Falcon 9. During its 6 year mission, Euclid will survey almost 15,000 sq. deg. of extragalactic sky and obtain optical images (530-920nm band) and near-infrared images (Y,J,H) and slitless grism spectra (1206nm-1892nm, R~480). All Euclid data will be made public to the world community on a schedule set by ESA. A quick data release is planned for late 2024, and the first year of data will be released in DR1 in late 2025. Data will be available from the ESA’s Euclid Archive System and from the NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive (IRSA). NASA will support archival research with Euclid data via the ADAP program. The Euclid NASA Science Center at IPAC (ENSCI) is available now to answer questions from researchers planning to use Euclid data.

In this session, we will give an overview of Euclid and its two instruments, and report on mission status and early release observations. We will discuss the opportunities and science potential for archival research with public Euclid data.
