Description
We present an atlas of position-velocity (PV) diagrams of ionized gas in the inner regions of 23 disk galaxies. The gas kinematics have been obtained from ground-based long-slit spectra along the major axis. We discuss the variety of shapes of the emission lines in the PV diagrams that we find for the sample galaxies. To discuss the different shapes we consider a modelling tecnique which assumes that the gas resides in an infinitesimally thin disk whose mean motion is characterized by circular orbits in the plane of the galaxy. This modelling tecnique that takes into account the instrumental and the seeing effects allows to reproduce the observed PV diagrams. In addition this kind of analysis is useful to select spiral galaxies which are good candidates to present ordered gas rotation around central supermassive black holes (SMBH), to be followed-up by Hubble Space Telescope. For a few cases we will try to determine accurately the mass of the SMBH using forthcoming STIS observations of the gas kinematics.

    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

    Estimation of the hydrostatic-to-lensing mass bias from resolved cluster masses
    We present a study on the bias of hydrostatic masses with respect to lensing mass estimates for a sample of 53 clusters in a redshift range between z = 0.05 and 1.07. The M 500 mass for each cluster was inferred from X-ray and lensing data, without using a priori observable-mass scaling relations. Cluster masses of our reference analysis were
