Approximate methods for the generation of dark matter halo catalogs in the age of precision cosmology [PDF]
Precision cosmology has recently triggered new attention on the topic of approximate methods for the clustering of matter on large scales, whose foundations date back to the period from the late 1960s to early 1990s.

Improved Point Source Detection in Crowded Fields using Probabilistic Cataloging [PDF]
Cataloging is challenging in crowded fields because sources are extremely covariant with their neighbors and blending makes even the number of sources ambiguous. We present the first optical probabilistic catalog, cataloging a crowded (~0.1 sources per pixel brighter than 22nd magnitude in F606W) Sloan Digital Sky Survey r band image from M2 ...

The GUSBAD Catalog of Gamma-Ray Bursts [PDF]
The GUSBAD catalog of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is based on archival BATSE DISCLA data covering the full 9.1 years of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory mission. The catalog contains 2204 GRBs, including 589 bursts not listed in the Current BATSE Burst Catalog.

Automatic Classification of Variable Stars in Catalogs with missing data
We present an automatic classification method for astronomical catalogs with missing data. We use Bayesian networks, a probabilistic graphical model, that allows us to perform inference to pre- dict missing values given observed data and dependency ...

DESCQA: An Automated Validation Framework for Synthetic Sky Catalogs [PDF]
The use of high-quality simulated sky catalogs is essential for the success of cosmological surveys. The catalogs have diverse applications, such as investigating signatures of fundamental physics in cosmological observables, understanding the effect of ...

A catalog of nearby accelerating star candidates in Gaia DR3 [PDF]
We describe a new catalog of accelerating star candidates with Gaia $G\le 17.5$ mag and distances $d\le 100$ pc. Designated as Gaia Nearby Accelerating Star Catalog (GNASC), it contains 29,684 members identified using a supervised machine-learning algorithm trained on the Hipparcos-Gaia Catalog of Accelerations (HGCA), Gaia Data Release 2, and Gaia ...

CROSS-CORRELATING THE γ-RAY SKY WITH CATALOGS OF GALAXY CLUSTERS [PDF]
We report the detection of a cross-correlation signal between Fermi Large Area Telescope diffuse γ-ray maps and catalogs of clusters. In our analysis, we considered three different catalogs: WHL12, redMaPPer, and PlanckSZ.

DARK MATTER SEARCHES IN THE GAMMA-RAY EXTRAGALACTIC BACKGROUND VIA CROSS-CORRELATIONS WITH GALAXY CATALOGS [PDF]
We compare the measured angular cross-correlation between the Fermi-Large Area Telescope γ-ray sky and catalogs of extragalactic objects with the expected signal induced by weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter (DM).
