Event Information:

The Canadian Telescope/Theoretical Seminars (CaTS) is a seminar series which aims to spotlight the diverse astronomical observatories, telescope missions and simulation projects that Canada is involved in, with a particular focus on the potential roles of graduate students. Recordings of past seminars are available here.

Our first CaTS seminar of 2026 is now scheduled for February 25th at 11 am PST / 3 pm AST. Ryley Hill, an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of British Columbia, will be presenting to the graduate students of Canada (that’s you!) on science with Euclid, including how to get involved in the consortium. See the below abstract of the talk, mark your calendars and tune in on February 25th through Zoom (passcode 579428)!

Abstract: 

Euclid will cover 15,000 square degrees by 2030, cataloguing billions of galaxies. The first data release has already demonstrated Euclid's capabilities, highlighting its ability to produce detailed images over a wide field-of-view. In particular I will discuss a recent result where we combined Euclid data with overlapping long-wavelength (100 - 850um) imaging in order to measure the average dust masses and dust temperatures of 2.6 million galaxies, showing that galaxies in the early Universe contained more hot dust than galaxies today. As Canada is a part of the Euclid Consortium, you can get involved too! I will give an overview of how the collaboration works, and how you can turn your idea into a publication.
