Descripción
Carrying out detailed analyses on massive blue stars further than the Milky Way is a demanding task, however it is feasible and the best way to comprehend the stellar evolution in environments with different metallicity. We present the first quantitative study performed on a massive blue star sample belonging to NGC~55, about 1.9 Mpc away. The project required to develop new automatic techniques, providing an objective spectroscopic analysis method. The results hint to a young population in NGC~55 with masses between about 20-50 Msol, and an average metallicity close to the Large Magellanic Cloud.

    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

    CONCERTO: Instrument and status
    CONCERTO (CarbON CII line in post-rEionization and ReionizaTiOn) is a low-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer dedicated to the study of star-forming galaxies and clusters of galaxies in the transparent millimeter windows from the ground. It is characterized by a wide instantaneous 18.6 arcmin field of view, operates at 130-310 GHz, and was

    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
