Descripción
We present step-by-step X-ray data analysis procedures as part of the Chandra Multi-wavelength Project. They consist of additional data corrections and data screening post CXC Standard Data Processing Rev 1 and the determination of sources and their X-ray properties. Using 3 deep ACIS imaging fields (MS 1137.5+6625, CL0848.6+4453 and A0620-00) with exposure times ranging from 50 ks to 190 ks, we discuss in particular gain correction, aspect correction, removing bad pixels and node boundaries, removing ACIS flaring pixels, streak correction for the S4 chip and excluding high background intervals. Optimal parameters for source detection and X-ray source properties such as X-ray colors are also discussed.

    A machine learning method to infer clusters of galaxies mass radial profiles from mock Sunyaev-Zel'dovich maps with The Three Hundred clusters
    Our study introduces a new machine learning algorithm for estimating 3D cumulative radial profiles of total and gas mass in galaxy clusters from thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect maps. We generate mock images from 2522 simulated clusters, employing an autoencoder and random forest in our approach. Notably, our model makes no prior assumptions

    The European Low Frequency Survey. Observing the radio sky to understand the beginning of the Universe
    In this paper we present the European Low Frequency Survey (ELFS), a project that will enable the detection of primordial B-mode polarization by measuring the Galactic and extra-Galactic foregrounds in the 5- 120 GHz frequency window. Indeed, the main difficulty in measuring the Bmode polarization comes not just from its sheer faintness, but from

    Estimation of the hydrostatic-to-lensing mass bias from resolved cluster masses
    We present a study on the bias of hydrostatic masses with respect to lensing mass estimates for a sample of 53 clusters in a redshift range between z = 0.05 and 1.07. The M 500 mass for each cluster was inferred from X-ray and lensing data, without using a priori observable-mass scaling relations. Cluster masses of our reference analysis were
