See if you can spot the astronomer in the ICAERUS conference photo, where we presented ELSA to the project team last week, discussing lots of imaginative ways of creating research impact 🔭🧪 www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

The Euclid consortium have a big spash coming tomorrow... Watch this space for the first results from Thursday, 23 May, 12:00 CEST, and shortly afterwards on arXiv... #EuclidLeaks #science #astronomy #astrodon #space 🔭🧪

Our answser: we'll try pattern matching (like Gravity Spy) & image segmentation for spectra (like GZ Clump Scout).

This week is also the #Euclid Galaxy/AGN Evolution meeting in Bologna, where our PI Margherita presented the project. Audience Q: how to engage volunteers on the hard problem of slitless spectra, eg Galaxy Nurseries was tricky for volunteers? 🧪🔭

Belatedly, here are a few key slides from the Dissemination, Engagement and Citizen Science talk. Besides showing our social media comms channels, we explained why we need & use crowdsourced data mining (citizen science)

Some beautiful logo options! Not yet proper to share in public, but excellent work by a graphic artist who will work up some final options for voting on. Finally our first formal ELSA General Assembly!

I'll put some summaries of my talk in here later, but first our next talk is Viola Allevato on some options for our ELSA logo (our current snowflake icon is just provisional)

First talk after lunch is me @stephenserjeant.bsky.social to talk about our Dissemination, Engagement and Citizen Science work package, so I won't live-skeet!

Our data(+code?) needs to be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR). GitHub is great for developing, testing & maintaining code, but connect to Zenodo (one button!) to publish FAIR code. Our first draft DMP is due in June 2024...

Giulia Caldoni, Data Steward in the Research Services Division in Bologna, now briefing us on the open science requirements and our Data Management Plan deliverable. Publication embargos are no longer allowed in Horizon. Peer-reviewed papers on arXiv are ok; APCs not funded in Horizon. A&A OA is ok.

Some catastrophic photo-z failures in template fitting but these are reduced with ML. Also tested on a COSMOS-like reference sample. Lots of multi-wavelength data for EDF from MeerKAT/LOFAR(2.0) to VISTA,HSC,Spitzer can help with deblending - could use GANs?

Next up is Andrea Enia, with a science talk on recovering of galaxy physical properties with template fitting and ML (Euclid paper in prep). They used MAMBO to simulate four Euclid surveys (Wide, Deep, calib16 and calib25), fitted with templateS, deep NN, CatBoost single+chained regressors, & NNPZ

Another application of supervised machine learning is to use human classifications as labels, already successfully demonstrated with clumpy galaxies. Also will deploy unsupervised learning (eg VAE) for photometry and specta, using clustering in latent space to classify and find rare objects

Day 2 of our ELSA Euclid kick-off meeting! First up is Sotiria Fotopoulou on our Machine Learning work package. They will use the AstronomicAL visualisation tool. Euclid data are BIG: 1B galaxies, 100M spectra - use supervised learning to get physical properties, and deblend overlapping spectra 🧪🔭

Now Ben Granett is presenting ELSA WP3 on advanced 2D reconstructed spectra in Euclid, using forward modelling. Very nice proof of concept with a simulated strong gravitational lens. Other applications include galaxy kinematics

Salvatore Quai is next, with a science talk on spectral stacking using MAMBO simulations (based on Millenium dark matter haloes and the Empirical Galaxy Generator), with a powerful stackSpec python routine. Nice showcase of simulated SFR-Mstar relation

After lunch and more policy chats, we're on to Lucia Pozzetti talking about WP2, on advanced analysis of 1d spectra. 30 million galaxies with spectra and spectro-z in the wide survey alone! ELSA extracting physical parameters and making spectral stacks.

Martina Morabito is next, our ELSA Project Manager, talking about our management WP, acquisition of our computing resources (ELSA needs lots 🤖), and more. Remember to credit the EC grant in all our outputs, including papers! (It's in the banner of this bluesky account.)

Next up, Gisèle Van Bunnen, our Project Officer from the European Commission, giving us an overview of the processes involved in our funding, deliverables, reviews etc. We're part of €5.6bn for industry/space/digital in Horizon 😮 This is 🇪🇺&🇬🇧 public € so we must report in some detail on all costs.
