Euclid quick data release (Q1)IX. First visual morphology catalogue

Abstract

We present a detailed visual morphology catalogue for the Euclid Quick Release 1 (Q1). Our catalogue includes galaxy features such as bars, spiral arms, and ongoing mergers, for the 378 000 bright (IE < 20:5) or extended (area 700 pixels) galaxies in Q1. The catalogue was created by finetuning the Zoobot galaxy foundation models on annotations from an intensive one-month campaign by Galaxy Zoo volunteers. Our measurements are fully automated, and hence fully scaleable. This catalogue is the first 0.4% of the approximately 100 million galaxies where Euclid will ultimately resolve detailed morphology
