Abstract ΛCDM is considered today the standard model of cosmology. In spite of ΛCDM’s success, recent findings seem to reveal tensions (Riess et al., 2018; Hildebrandt et al., 2017; Joudaki et al., 2017) thus, a new probe of this model would be quite imperative. According to ΛCDM, the Universe contains dark energy in the form of a cosmological constant Λ which is responsible for the evident accelerated expansion of the Universe. Current evidence of its existence is based on the relation of the present-day values of the cosmological density parameters of matter (Ωm) and dark energy (ΩΛ). It has been recently shown (Pavlidou, Korkidis, Tomaras, & Tanoglidis, 2020) that the turnaround density, and hence, the turnaround radius of galaxy clusters at low redshifts could be a novel way to independently constrain ΩΛ. Scalable techniques to measure it effectively in a large number of clusters at large distances have not been developed yet and machine learning is a natural candidate. Consequently, the scope of this work is to investigate for a new way of measuring the turnaround radius of galaxy clusters, at the plane of the sky (i.e. observationally), through machine learning methods and evaluate their accuracy.
