Strengthening the Open Cluster Distance Scale via VVV Photometry

Daniel J. Majaess, David G. Turner, C. Moni Bidin +14

Approximately 14% of known Galactic open clusters possess absolute errors 20% as evaluated from n>3 independent distance estimates, and the statistics for age estimates are markedl…

Gibbs distribution analysis of temporal correlations structure in retina ganglion cells

J. C. Vasquez, O. Marre, A. G. Palacios +2

We present a method to estimate Gibbs distributions with \textit{spatio-temporal} constraints on spike trains statistics. We apply this method to spike trains recorded from ganglio…

First spectro-interferometric survey of Be stars I. Observations and constraints on the disks geometry and kinematics

Anthony Meilland, Florentin Millour, Samer Kanaan +5

Context. Classical Be stars are hot non-supergiant stars surrounded by a gaseous circumstellar disk that is responsible for the observed infrared-excess and emission lines. The phe…

Simple, Fast and Accurate Implementation of the Diffusion Approximation Algorithm for Stochastic Ion Channels with Multiple States

Patricio Orio, Daniel Soudry

The phenomena that emerge from the interaction of the stochastic opening and closing of ion channels (channel noise) with the non-linear neural dynamics are essential to our unders…

A precision study of two eclipsing white dwarf plus M dwarf binaries

S. G. Parsons, T. R. Marsh, B. T. Gänsicke +16

We use a combination of X-shooter spectroscopy, ULTRACAM high-speed photometry and SOFI near-infrared photometry to measure the masses and radii of both components of the eclipsing…
