Bayesian Functional Data Analysis in Astronomy
Cosmic demographics—the statistical study of populations of astrophysical objects—has long relied on tools from multivariate statistics for analyzing data comprising fixed-length vectors of properties of objects, as might be compiled in a tabular ...

A Model Estimator for Noisy Compact Emission Recovery in Radio Synthesis Imaging
Reconstruction of a noisy compact emission must consider not only the point-spread function but also the effect of noise. However, the traditional threshold method in widely-used CLEAN-based algorithms finds it difficult to effectively prevent noise in ...

The Spitzer Coverage of HSC-Deep with IRAC for Z studies (SHIRAZ). I. IRAC Mosaics
We present new Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) 3.6 and 4.5 μ m mosaics of three fields, E-COSMOS, DEEP2-F3, and ELAIS-N1. Our mosaics include both new IRAC observations as well as reprocessed archival data in these fields.

Kepler Bonus: Light Curves of Kepler Background Sources
NASA’s Kepler primary mission observed about 116 deg ^2 in the sky for 3.5 consecutive years to discover Earth-like exoplanets. This mission recorded pixel cutouts, known as target pixel files (TPFs), of over 200,000 targets that were selected to ...

An Application of Hilbert-Huang Transform on the Non-Stationary Astronomical Time Series: The Superorbital Modulation of SMC X-1 [PDF]
We present the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) analysis on the quasi-periodic modulation of SMC X-1. SMC X-1, consisting of a neutron star and a massive companion, exhibits superorbital modulation with a period varying between ~40 d and ~65 d. We applied
