Description
We have conducted a systematic search for stellar disk truncations in disk--like galaxies at intermediate redshift (z<1.1) using the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey South (GOODS-S) data. Focusing on galaxies with a Type II (i.e., downbending profile) we explore whether the position of the break (i.e., a direct estimator of the size of the stellar disk) evolves with time. The number of galaxies under analysis (238) is an order of magnitude larger than in previous studies. For the first time, we probe the evolution of the break radius at a given stellar mass (a much better proxy to address evolutionary studies). Our results suggest that, at given stellar mass, the radial position of the break has increased with cosmic time by a factor of 1.4 in the last ˜8 Gyr. This is in agreement with a moderate inside-out growth of the disk galaxies since z˜1.

    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
