• Abstract: Different models of dark matter can alter the distribution of mass in galaxy clusters in a variety of ways. However, so can uncertain astrophysical feedback mechanisms. Here we present a Machine Learning method that ''learns'' how the impact of dark matter self-interactions differs from that of astrophysical feedback in order to break this degeneracy and make inferences on dark matter. We train a Convolutional Neural Network on images of galaxy clusters from hydro-dynamic simulations. In the idealised case our algorithm is 80% accurate at identifying if a galaxy cluster harbours collisionless dark matter, dark matter with ${\sigma}_{\rm DM}/m = 0.1$cm$^2/$g or with ${\sigma}_{DM}/m = 1$cm$^2$/g. Whilst we find adding X-ray emissivity maps does not improve the performance in differentiating collisional dark matter, it does improve the ability to disentangle different models of astrophysical feedback. We include noise to resemble data expected from Euclid and Chandra and find our model has a statistical error of < 0.01cm$^2$/g and that our algorithm is insensitive to shape measurement bias and photometric redshift errors. This method represents a new way to analyse data from upcoming telescopes that is an order of magnitude more precise and many orders faster, enabling us to explore the dark matter parameter space like never before.

  In cosmology, galaxy redshift surveys resemble such a permutation invariant collection of positions in space. We employ a textitPointNet-like neural network to regress the values of the cosmological parameters directly from point cloud data. Our implementation of PointNets can analyse inputs of $mathcalO(104) - mathcalO(105)$ galaxies at a time, which improves upon earlier work for this application by roughly two orders of magnitude.

  We show that a Bayesian Neural Network (BNN) can be used for the inference, with uncertainty, of such parameters from simulated low-surface-brightness galaxy images. Compared to traditional profile-fitting methods, we show that the uncertainties obtained using BNNs are comparable in magnitude, well-calibrated, and the point estimates of the parameters are closer to the true values.

  We describe the challenges of detecting stars whose phase-space distribution may be perturbed by the passage of dark matter subhalos using a machine learning approach. We first quantify the magnitude of the perturbations in the simulated galaxies using an anomaly detection algorithm. We find that a classification algorithm optimized on about half a billion synthetic star observables exhibits mild but nonzero sensitivity.
