Descripción
The development of adaptive optics systems for projects related to large telescopes demands a proper knowledge of the atmospheric turbulence. Due to the lack of long-term information on optical turbulence, high-altitude winds (in particular winds at the 200-mbar pressure level) were adopted as a parameter for estimating the total turbulence at a particular site, since there are large wind databases spanning for several decades. On-site measurements of CN2(h) profiles (more than 20200 turbulence profiles) from G-SCIDAR observations and wind vertical profiles from balloons have been used tocalculate the seeing, the isoplanatic angle and the coherence time for the Teide Observatory (Canary Islands, Spain). The connection of these parameters to wind speeds at ground and 200-mbar pressure level have been studied and discussed.

    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
