Left: Signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) as a function of the magnitude for the luminous sources detected in the Euclid simulated images of the galaxy cluster MACS J0416. Blue, green, grey, and magenta dots indicate the S/N for galaxies detected in the EuclidIE, YE, JE, and HE images, respectively, as a function of their magnitude in the different bands. These quantities are measured within circular apertures of radius 0 . $ \overset{\prime \prime }{.} $65 for the IE band, and radius 0 . 51 $ 0{{\overset{\prime\prime}{.}}}51 $ (equivalent in extension to the 0 . 9 × 0 . 9 $ 0{{\overset{\prime\prime}{.}}}9 \times 0{{\overset{\prime\prime}{.}}}9 $ aperture quoted in Table 1) for the YE, JE, and HE filters. Vertical and horizontal dashed lines mark the values of the limiting S/Ns ((S/N)limIE = 15.9, (S/N)limYE = 6.5, (S/N)limJE = 7.8, and (S/N)limHE = 7.2) and limiting magnitudes (mlimIE = 24.5, mlimYE = 24.0, mlimJE = 24.0, and mlimHE = 24.0). Right: Full width at half maximum (FWHM) distribution (grey) and its cumulative probability distribution (red) estimated for 1748 galaxies in six HFF parallel fields with IE magnitude ≤ 24.5 (i.e. brighter than the limiting magnitude in the IE filter).
