The Euclid satellite is an ESA mission scheduled for launch in September 2023. To optimally perform critical stages of the data reduction, such as object detection and morphology determination, a new and modern software package was required. We have developed SourceXtractor++ as open source software for detecting and measuring sources in astronomical images. It is a complete redesign of the original SExtractor, written mainly in C++. The package follows a modular approach and facilitates the analysis of multiple overlapping sources over many images with different pixel grids. SourceXtractor++ is already operational in many areas of the Euclid processing, and we demonstrate here the capabilities of the current version v0.19 on the basis of a set of typical use cases, which are available for download

  1. Through Thick and Thin: The Cosmic Evolution of Disk Scale Height

    astro-ph.GA 2026-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Disk scale heights at fixed stellar mass rise from 0.56 kpc at z=3.25 to 0.84 kpc at z=1.25, then fall to 0.67 kpc at z=0.25, implying early thick-disk progenitors were dense, hot, intermediate-thickness disks.

  2. LoVoCCS. III. Third Generation Pipeline & The Hercules Supercluster

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new LSST-pipeline-based reduction and multi-plane weak-lensing analysis measures the Hercules supercluster at 8.9 x 10^14 solar masses and attributes Abell 2147's inflated dynamical mass to a recent pericenter passage.

  3. Physical properties of galaxies and the UV Luminosity Function from $z\sim6$ to $z\sim14$ in COSMOS-Web

    astro-ph.GA 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A 3,099-galaxy JWST sample at z~6-14 shows a bright-end UV luminosity function excess at z~9-12 relative to evolving Schechter-function predictions, with non-evolving blue UV slopes.
