We investigate the ability of Euclid telescope to detect galaxy-scale gravitational lenses. To do so, we perform a systematic visual inspection $0.7\,\rm{deg}^2$ ERO data towards Perseus cluster using both high-resolution VIS $I_{\scriptscriptstyle\rm E}$ band, and lower resolution NISP bands. inspect every extended source brighter than magnitude $23$ in with $41$ expert human classifiers. This amounts $12\,086$ stamps $10^{\prime\prime}\,\times\,10^{\prime\prime}$. find $3$ grade A $13$ B...

The unprecedented number of gravitational lenses expected from new-generation facilities such as the ESA Euclid telescope and Vera Rubin Observatory makes it crucial to rethink our classical approach lens-modelling. In this paper, we present LeMoN (Lens Modelling with Neural networks): a new machine-learning algorithm able analyse hundreds thousands in reasonable amount time. is based on Bayesian Network: generation neural networks associate reliable confidence interval each predicted...

Forthcoming imaging surveys will increase the number of known galaxy-scale strong lenses by several orders magnitude. For this to happen, images billions galaxies have be inspected identify potential candidates. In context, deep-learning techniques are particularly suitable for finding patterns in large data sets, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) particular can efficiently process volumes images. We assess compare performance three network architectures classification strong-lensing...

This essay is an initial study that examines selected contemporary video artworks addressing identity and representation by Italian women artists. The author shows how these artists seek to avoid the objectification sanitisation of traditional iconographies involving in patriarchal Catholic systems. Selected works Elisabetta Di Sopra, Francesca Fini, Mariateresa Sartori are discussed comparing elements from earlier generations feminist artists, such as Pipilotti Rist, Elaine Shemilt,...

The Euclid Wide Survey (EWS) is predicted to find approximately 170 000 galaxy-galaxy strong lenses from its lifetime observation of 14 deg^2 the sky. Detecting this many by visual inspection with professional astronomers and citizen scientists alone infeasible. Machine learning algorithms, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have been used as an automated method detecting lenses, proven fruitful in finding lens candidates. We identify major challenge be automatic detection...

This paper will discuss methodologies, approaches and issues, emerging out of three major research projects that have investigated early histories video art in Europe: REWIND (2004 ongoing), Italia (2011-2014) EWVA (2015-2018). The how the engaged with history apparatus, identity status artworks, preservation methods, legacy these artworks today. A particular focus be on semi-structured questionnaires for interviews structured to capture oral histories, memories recollections, some cases...

Abstract It is well known that chromospheric observations in the hydrogen alpha line give relevant information about solar flares, plages and protuberances, among other typical features of Sun. From 1998 to 2006, HA lpha S olar T elescope A rgentina ( HASTA ) has provided images scientific community with technological resources available at time. Starting 2007, major improvements have been incorporated, like a new CCD camera enhanced spatial temporal resolution, filter replacement, automatic...

Abstract On 17 May 1952, before RAI Radiotelevisione Italiana Studios began their regular broadcast from Milan, the Spatialist painter and sculptor Lucio Fontana his own experimental ‘artwork’ on Italian television, beginning a fruitful relationship between visual artists. For some, it provided careers as designers art directors, such Mario Sasso Arte Povera artist Pino Pascali, while for others, who were given unique access to RAI’s television apparatus, was an opportunity explore artistic...
