Descripción
We have used a flux-calibrated mosaiced CCD image of M33 in Hα emission to produce a catalogue of the positions and Hα luminosities of 9190 HII regions complete down to a limiting luminosity LHα of 1036 erg/s and constructed a luminosity function (LF) from this catalogue. In contrast to previously published M33 LFs we find the slope of the function to remain almost constant with falling luminosity. Measuring the integrated total Hα luminosity of M33 and subtracting the estimated extrapolated total flux from the HII regions, we are able to infer the flux emitted by the diffuse ionised gas (DIG) across the whole disc to be 35-45% of the total Hα luminosity.

    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
