Notes. For the whole celestial sphere, we report the current number of known SSOs (now, at the time of the writing on 2017 June 28), the expected number of observable objects (
S) at the limiting apparent magnitude of Euclid (VAB< 24.5), and the solar elongation (Ψ = 91.0 ± 1.5°). Using the fraction of known SSOs within the area of the Euclid Wide survey (fW) and calibration frames (fC), we estimate the total number of discoveries (
E,d) and observations (
E,o) by Euclid. The absolute magnitude corresponding to a probability of 100%, 50%, and 1% that SSOs will be within the detection envelop of Euclid are also reported.
