Recent studies into the nature of dark matter and dark energy have resulted in a number of dark-fluid cosmological models. Integrability conditions arising from general irrotational fluid-flow considerations of a universe dominated by one such dark fluid will be investigated under special assumptions on the nature of the spacetime shear. Special emphasis will be placed on linearized...
Euclid is the M2 mission of ESA's Cosmic Vision program dedicated to the study of the dark universe: Dark Matter and Dark Energy, with launch scheduled for 2022. Euclid will observe 15,000 square degrees of extragalactic sky in the visible band with resolution of 0.1arcsec (VIS), in IR photometry for the Y, J, H bands and in slitless spectroscopy between 1 and 2 microns (NISP). Euclid will be...
