Description
Star clusters provide a unique and powerful probe useful for studying the star formation histories of galaxies. In particular, the ages, metallicities and kinematics of star clusters bear the imprint of the galaxy formation process. M33 is the only nearby late-type spiral galaxy and it provides a notable connection between the cluster populations of earlier-type spirals and the numerous, nearby later-type dwarf galaxies. GTC/OSIRIS provides us, for the first time, with adequate velocity precision to reach the faint end of the luminosity function and to perform a detailed spectroscopic study. We will present here high velocity precision of faint star clusters using GTC/OSIRIS as well as brighter star clusters using WHT/WYFFOS. In combination with our photometric study as well as structural parameter analysis, we will provide relevant information of the star formation history and evolution of the galaxy.

    Generating galaxy clusters mass density maps from mock multiview images via deep learning
    Galaxy clusters are composed of dark matter, gas and stars. Their dark matter component, which amounts to around 80% of the total mass, cannot be directly observed but traced by the distribution of diffused gas and galaxy members. In this work, we aim to infer the cluster's projected total mass distribution from mock observational data, i.e. stars

    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
