Non-Gaussian Error Distributions of Galactic Rotation Speed Measurements

Ashwani Rajan, Shantanu Desai

We construct the error distributions for the galactic rotation speed () using 137 data points from measurements compiled in De Grijs et al. (arXiv:1709.02501), with all observ…

Two Dimensional Clustering of Gamma-Ray Bursts using durations and hardness

Aishwarya Bhave, Soham Kulkarni, Shantanu Desai +1

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) have been traditionally divided into two categories: "short" and "long" with durations less than and greater than two seconds, respectively. However, there…

Classifying Exoplanets with Gaussian Mixture Model

Soham Kulkarni, Shantanu Desai

Recently, Odrzywolek and Rafelski (arXiv:1612.03556) have found three distinct categories of exoplanets, when they are classified based on density. We first carry out a similar cla…

Statistical Significance of spectral lag transition in GRB 160625B

Shalini Ganguly, Shantanu Desai

Recently Wei et al (arXiv:1612.09425) have found evidence for a transition from positive time lags to negative time lags in the spectral lag data of GRB 160625B. They have fit thes…
