Intelligent Systems for Astrophysics and Cosmology

This lecture covers the use of intelligent systems in astrophysics and cosmology, focusing on strong, weak, and micro lensing, imaging techniques, machine learning applications, future surveys, and the SWAT project led by EPFL. It also discusses time delays in measuring the Hubble Constant, photometry with image deconvolution, and cosmology results from gravitational lensing. The presentation includes examples of cosmic lenses, the importance of addressing the Hubble Constant Tension Problem, and the tools available for solving cosmological questions, such as the ESA Euclid mission. The lecture concludes with a discussion on the need for autonomous telescopes, the challenges in coordinating multi-messenger science, and the importance of high-cadence multi-band follow-up in astrophysical research.
