Description
The importance of forbidden line radiation is considered, taking into account lines in the visible and the infrared range. The result of a theoretical study conducted by Petrosian (1970) is shown in a graph which indicates the intensities of the IR lines predicted for M42. The predicted values were found later to be one order of magnitude too high. A description is given of a spectrometer which was designed for extraterrestrial observations. The spectrometer was used together with a 91-cm telescope which is installed in a NASA Convair 141 aircraft. Several observational flights were conducted in November and December of 1975. The results of the studies are discussed, taking into account the detection of the forbidden line at 18.7 micrometers in M42.

    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
