BAFFLES: Bayesian Ages for Field Lower-Mass Stars [PDF]
, 2020 Age is a fundamental parameter of stars, yet in many cases ages of individual stars are presented without robust estimates of the uncertainty. We have developed a Bayesian framework, BAFFLES, to produce the age posterior for a star from its calcium emission strength (log($R'_{HK}$)) or lithium abundance (Li EW) and $B-V$ color. We empirically determine

Multiwavelength Characterization of the High Mass X-ray Binary Population of M31 [PDF]
, 2020 We present our analysis of high quality high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) candidates in M31 selected from point-source optical-counterpart candidates from the Chandra-PHAT survey catalog. We fit the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of optical counterpart candidates using the Bayesian Extinction and Stellar Tool (BEAST). We used the best-fit luminosity,

Brain Age from the Electroencephalogram of Sleep [PDF]
Neurobiology of aging 74 (2019): 112-120, 2018 The human electroencephalogram (EEG) of sleep undergoes profound changes with age. These changes can be conceptualized as "brain age", which can be compared to an age norm to reflect the deviation from normal aging process. Here, we develop an interpretable machine learning model to predict brain age based on two large sleep EEG datasets: the ...
