The researchers proposed a physical-guided diffusion model approach to reconstruct the surface mass density of galaxy clusters using the DarkClusters-15k dataset (containing 15,000 simulated clusters). This method trains a pluggable diffusion prior to learn the statistical relationship between mass and light, and combines weak and strong lensing observations to generate posterior samples. This enables automated reconstruction with high accuracy without expert tuning, requiring only a few minutes of operation. This achievement reached an expert level in the reconstruction of the MACS 1206 cluster, aiming to provide development support and benchmark tests for future wide-field cosmology surveys.
