Presentation

Substellar Science with the Euclid Space Mission (SUBSTELLAR) is a project aimed at mining the Euclid surveys for pushing the frontier of knowledge in substellar science.

SUBSTELLAR is an Advanced Grant awarded to Prof. Eduardo L. Martín (Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias) by the European Research Council. 

The primary science goal of SUBSTELLAR is to reveal and investigate the faint objects that lurk in the darkness beyond the limits of stellar engines, using mainly the new data arriving from the ESA Euclid space mission.

Euclid is a space mission led by the European Space Agency (ESA) to conduct a deep, single-epoch survey of 15,000 deg2 of sky with visible and near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy, and 40 deg2 multi-epoch very deep surveys. Euclid was launched at July 1st 2023.

The unprecedented combination of sensitivity, areal coverage, spatial resolution, data homogeneity and spectral information will naturally be of tremendous benefit to other areas of astrophysics. Two Euclid Independent Legacy Science (ILS) programs have been designated by ESA to develop and pursue independent science programs that capitalize on the unique data products of the Euclid surveys. SUBSTELLAR will re-use existing ground-based and space-based multiwavelength data to complement the new data obtained with the Euclid space mission.

SUBSTELLAR Team already completed!

The last three postdoctoral positions of the SUBSTELLAR project has been already awarded, so, our team is already completed. It is formed by: Eduardo Martín (Principal Investigator); Marusa Zerjal, Khalid Barkaoui, Carlos Domínguez and Nikola Vitas (Postdoctoral Researchers); Stella Tsilia, Sara Muñoz and Nafise Sedighi (Predoctoral Researchers), and Alberto Escobar (Project Manager). Predoctoral  researcher Junyan Zhang is also working within SUBSTELLAR team but funded by another funding source.
