The paper presents a fully automated method for reconstructing the surface mass density of galaxy clusters using photometry and gravitational lensing data. It introduces DarkClusters-15k, a benchmark dataset of 15,000 simulated clusters with paired mass and photometry maps across multiple redshifts and simulation frameworks. By training a diffusion prior on this dataset, the authors generate posterior samples constrained by weak- and strong-lensing observables, achieving accurate, physics‑guided reconstructions with well‑calibrated uncertainties in minutes.
The paper demonstrates that a self‑supervised Vision Transformer (ViT) pretrained on a fast, low‑cost semi‑numerical simulator can produce data summaries that transfer across different simulators without retraining. In 21cm cosmology, the ViT—named SKATR—pretrained on 67,000 21cmFAST lightcones is applied unchanged to hydrodynamical Loreli II lightcones, enabling accurate inference of five astrophysical parameters with fewer radiative‑transfer simulations than a fully‑supervised baseline. SKATR remains accurate, informative, and calibrated even under realistic SKA antenna array noise, outperforming supervised models retrained on noisy data.
