We reconstruct the 3D matter density and peculiar velocity fields in the local Universe up to a distance of 200$\,h^{-1}\,$Mpc from the Two-Micron All-Sky Redshift Survey (2MRS), using a neural network (NN). We employed an NN with a U-net…

Gravitational lensing distorts the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and imprints a characteristic pattern onto it. The distortions depend on the projected matter density between today and redshift $z \sim 1100$. In this paper…
