Description
We have detected two globular clusters in the nuclear region of M31 with both Chandra and HST. These detections allow us to register the Chandra and HST images and therefore determine relative positions to ~0.1''. This improved positional accuracy shows that (contrary to our earlier reports) neither CXOU J004244.2+411608 nor CXOU J004244.2+411609 can be associated with M31*. We will report a new upper limit on the flux from M31*. Each month Chandra carries out a brief observation of M31, which typically finds ~1 transient of >1037ergs/sec. Starting this July, we will begin a program to identify the UV counterparts to these transients using HST. The results from the first few searches will be described. Abstract here.

    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
