Description
We report the discovery of a previously unseen X-ray point source detected in a 5ks observation starting on 2007-07-05.54 UT as part of our ongoing Chandra/HST M31 transient program. The source was detected on the edge of ACIS-S at coordinates RA(J2000) 00:40:59.2, Dec(J2000) +41:15:51.2, with centroid position errors of 2.4" and 3.0", respectively (subject to the standard bore-sight correction). The 0.7-3.0 keV spectrum is well modelled using an absorbed disk blackbody (after ascertaining that an added powerlaw made a negligible contribution to the flux).

    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
