Description
Time resolved (40-sec resolution, ~6-hours per night), R-band photometry of the outbursting black hole candidate XTE J1118+480 (ATEL #383) was obtained with the European Space Agency, 1-m OGS telescope at the Spanish Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife) from 2005 Jan 21.01 to Jan 26.30. The average R-band magnitude displays a linear decay with a rate of ~0.06 mag/day. Mean magnitudes are: Jan 21.3, 13.54+-0.01; Jan 22.07, 13.61+-0.01; Jan 23.14, 13.65+-0.01; Jan 24.15, 13.70+-0.01; Jan 25.15, 13.77+-0.01; Jan 26.12, 13.84+-0.01.

    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
