TL;DR: Euclid as mentioned in this paper is a space-based survey mission from the European Space Agency designed to understand the origin of the universe's accelerating expansion, using cosmological probes to investigate the nature of dark energy, dark matter and gravity by tracking their observational signatures.

TL;DR: Euclid is a European Space Agency medium-class mission selected for launch in 2020 within the cosmic vision 2015-2025 program as discussed by the authors, which will explore the expansion history of the universe and the evolution of cosmic structures by measuring shapes and red-shift of galaxies as well as the distribution of clusters of galaxies over a large fraction of the sky.

TL;DR: This review is meant to provide a guide to the scientific themes that will underlie the activity of the group during the preparation of the Euclid mission and discusses five broad topics: dark energy and modified gravity, dark matter, initial conditions, basic assumptions and questions of methodology in the data analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of halo substructures in hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters is presented, focusing in particular on the influence both of radiative and non-radiative gas physics and of non-standard physics such as thermal conduction and feedback by galactic outflows.
