Description
NGC 300 was observed by the Chandra X-ray Observatory on 24 Sept. 2010 for 63 ks as part of the Chandra Local Volume Survey. Roughly one hundred highly significant X-ray point sources were detected down to a limiting luminosity of 1035 erg/s, including high- and low-mass X-ray binaries, supernova remnants, and background AGN. Many of these X-ray sources have been tentatively classified using X-ray color-color diagrams, spectral modeling, and temporal variability analysis. We have additionally examined the radial source distribution and X-ray luminosity function of NGC 300. The high quality of our Chandra X-ray data has enabled us to perform a detailed study of the X-ray emission associated with the SN 2010da outburst (a suspected high mass X-ray binary) and the Wolf-Rayet + black hole binary NGC 300 X-1. This work has been supported by Chandra grant GO1-12118X.

    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
