Polka-dotted Stars: A Hierarchical Model for Mapping Stellar Surfaces Using Occultation Light Curves and the Case of TOI-3884

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present StarryStarryProcess , a novel hierarchical Bayesian framework for mapping stellar surfaces using exoplanet transit light curves. While previous methods relied solely on stellar rotational light curves—which contain limited information about ...

A Bayesian approach to the analysis of time symmetry in light curves: Reconsidering Scorpius X-1 occultations

open access: yes, 2009
We present a new approach to the analysis of time symmetry in light curves, such as those in the x-ray at the center of the Scorpius X-1 occultation debate.

Auto-BUQ: Uncertainty Quantification for the Boundaries of Segmented Events

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We present a new method to estimate the boundary of extended sources in high-energy photon lists and to quantify the uncertainty in the boundary. This method extends the graphed seeded region growing method developed by M. Fan et al.

Exploring Magnetic Fields in Molecular Clouds through Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Accurately measuring magnetic field strength in the interstellar medium, including giant molecular clouds, remains a significant challenge. We present a machine learning approach using denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs) to estimate magnetic

Bayesian Unbiasing of the Gaia Space Mission Time Series Database

open access: yes, 2017
21 st century astrophysicists are confronted with the herculean task of distilling the maximum scientific return from extremely expensive and complex space- or ground-based instrumental projects.

Rare Event Classification with Weighted Logistic Regression for Identifying Repeating Fast Radio Bursts

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
An important task in the study of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remains the automatic classification of repeating and nonrepeating sources based on their morphological properties. We propose a statistical model that considers a modified logistic regression to

Properties of Flare-imminent versus Flare-quiet Active Regions from the Chromosphere through the Corona. II. Nonparametric Discriminant Analysis Results from the NWRA Classification Infrastructure (NCI)

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
A large sample of active-region-targeted time-series images from the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), the AIA Active Region Patch database (Paper I) is used to investigate whether parameters describing the coronal ...

Prototype selection for parameter estimation in complex models

open access: yes, 2012
Parameter estimation in astrophysics often requires the use of complex physical models. In this paper we study the problem of estimating the parameters that describe star formation history (SFH) in galaxies.

The Testbed for LISA Analysis Project

open access: yes, 2006
The Testbed for LISA Analysis (TLA) Project aims to facilitate the development, validation and comparison of different methods for LISA science data analysis, by the broad LISA Science Community, to meet the special challenges that LISA poses.

Distributions of Wide Binary Stars in Theory and in Gaia Data. II. Reconstruction of Sample Probability Density of True Orbit Sizes

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Wide binary stars are important for testing alternative models of gravitation in the weak-field regime and understanding the statistical outcomes of dynamical interactions in the general Galactic field. The Gaia mission’s collection of weakly bound pairs
