Description
The radial profiles of the age, metallicity and α/Fe enhancement of the stellar populations in the bulge-dominated region for a sample of eight spiral galaxies with low surface-brightness stellar discs and bulges are presented. Almost all the sample bulges are characterised by young stellar populations, solar α/Fe enhancements and metallicities spanning from high to sub-solar values. No significant gradient in age and α/Fe enhancement is measured, whereas a negative metallicity gradient is found in a few cases. The stellar populations of the bulges hosted by low surface-brightness discs share many properties with those of high surface-brightness galaxies and are therefore likely to have common formation scenarios and evolution histories.

    3D scaling laws and projection effects in The300-NIKA2 Sunyaev-Zeldovich Large Program Twin Samples
    The abundance of galaxy clusters with mass and redshift is a wellknown cosmological probe. The cluster mass is a key parameter for studies that aim to constrain cosmological parameters using galaxy clusters, making it critical to understand and properly account for the errors in its estimates. Subsequently, it becomes important to correctly

    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
