    We present a novel, data-driven analysis of Galactic dynamics, using unsupervised machine learning -- in the form of density estimation with normalizing flows -- to learn the underlying phase space distribution of 6 million nearby stars from the Gaia DR3 catalog. Solving the collisionless Boltzmann equation with the assumption of approximate equilibrium, we calculate -- for the first time ever...

    Utilizing 21cm tomography provides a unique opportunity to directly investigate the astrophysical and fundamental aspects of early stages of our Universe's history, spanning the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) and Cosmic Dawn (CD). Due to the non-Gaussian nature of signals that trace this period of the Universe, methods based on summary statistics omit important information about the underlying...

    Cosmic inflation is a process in the early Universe responsible for the generation of cosmic structures. The dynamics of the scalar field driving inflation is determined by its self-interaction potential and is coupled to the gravitational dynamics of the FLRW-background. In addition, perturbations of the inflaton field can be computed by numerical solution of the so-called mode equations....

    We have developed a neural network-based pipeline for estimating galaxy cluster masses directly from X-ray photon data, using known redshift information. Our approach involves training convolutional neural networks on eROSITA simulations, with a focus on the Final Equatorial Depth Survey (eFEDS) dataset. Unlike previous methods, our approach incorporates additional cluster information,...

    Some machine learning methods that have been developed for particle physics applications are actually completely general with regards to the data. In this talk, I will show how ANODE and CATHODE, originally created to search for anomalies in particle physics, can be used to search for stellar streams in the Milky Way using data from the Gaia space telescope. Stellar streams are important...
