Description
A detailed study of the spiral galaxy UGC9837 is carried out based on the IFU spectroscopic data from the pilot survey of the Calar Alto Legacy Field Survey (CALIFA). The integrated, radial and spatially resolved properties of the ionized gas are studied. In addition the possible biases caused by using a fixed aperture in studying galaxy properties at different redshift are simulated. UGC9837 was observed as part of the CALIFA pilot survey using the PMAS PPAK integral field unit. The spectra is reduced and calibrated and the stellar and ionized components separated. Using typical strong emission line ratios of the ionized gas, the source of ionization, the dust extinction, the star formation rate, the electron density and the oxygen abundance are studied. We find out that the lack of spatial coverage indeed causes biases in the derived galaxy properties. We also demonstrate that use of fixed aperture in studying the properties of galaxies at different redshift can cause important biases distorting the results derived for the lower redshift objects. CALIFA will remove these biases in ˜ 600 galaxies of the Local Universe.

    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
