Estimating stellar oscillation-related parameters and their uncertainties with the moment method

open access: yes, 2005
The moment method is a well known mode identification technique in asteroseismology (where `mode' is to be understood in an astronomical rather than in a statistical sense), which uses a time series of the first 3 moments of a spectral line to estimate ...

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 ...

Bayesian Methods for Analysis and Adaptive Scheduling of Exoplanet Observations

open access: yes, 2018
We describe work in progress by a collaboration of astronomers and statisticians developing a suite of Bayesian data analysis tools for extrasolar planet (exoplanet) detection, planetary orbit estimation, and adaptive scheduling of observations. Our work

ABC-SN: Attention-based Classifier for Supernova Spectra

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
While significant advances have been made in photometric classification ahead of the millions of transient events and hundreds of supernovae (SNe) each night that the Vera C.

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 ...

Insights on the Spectral Signatures of Stellar Activity and Planets from PCA

open access: yes, 2017
Photospheric velocities and stellar activity features such as spots and faculae produce measurable radial velocity signals that currently obscure the detection of sub-meter-per-second planetary signals.

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.

On the 3D structure of the mass, metallicity, and SFR space for SF galaxies

open access: yes, 2013
We demonstrate that the space formed by the star-formation rate (SFR), gas-phase metallicity (Z), and stellar mass (M), can be reduced to a plane, as first proposed by Lara-Lopez 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

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
