We present a novel approach to identify galaxy clusters that are undergoing a merger using a deep learning approach. This paper uses massive galaxy clusters spanning $0 \leq z \leq 2$ from \textsc{The Three Hundred} project, a suite of…

We present a new application of deep learning to reconstruct the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps from the images of microwave sky, and to use these reconstructed maps to estimate the masses of galaxy clusters. We use a…
