Description
We performed an extensive observing programme on the zodiacal light with ISOPHOT. The mapping of several ~0.5degx0.5deg fields demonstrates the sub-percentage smoothness of the zodiacal light brightness on arcminute scale. The analysis of 27 ISOPHOT-S spectra in the 5-12μm range revealed blackbody-like spectral shapes with no obvious spectral features. The derived temperatures increase with ecliptic latitude and decrease with distance from the Sun in the range of 260-290 K. New interesting results are expected from multifilter photometry of the interplanetary dust cloud, and from observations of the asteroidal bands as well as of a cometary dust trail.

    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
