Descripción
Following our recent report on the transition to quiescence of the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701-407 (ATel #3604), we continued to monitor the source in X-rays. Further observations were carried out between August 31 and September 20, during which Swift pointed towards the source once every 2-4 days with the XRT operated in the photon counting mode. Initially, we found the 2-10 keV luminosity of XTE J1701-407 to be steadily decreasing, down to Lx~1E33 erg/s on August 31 (assuming a distance towards the source of D=5 kpc; ATel #2814).

    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
