Decoding Starlight with Big Survey Data, Machine Learning, and Cosmological Simulations
Kirsten Blancato
Stars, and collections of stars, encode rich signatures of stellar physics and galaxy evolution. With properties influenced by both their environment and intrinsic nature, stars re…
Astraea: Predicting Long Rotation Periods with 27-Day Light Curves
Yuxi, Lu, Ruth Angus +5
The rotation periods of planet-hosting stars can be used for modeling and mitigating the impact of magnetic activity in radial velocity measurements and can help constrain the high…
Data-driven derivation of stellar properties from photometric time series data using convolutional neural networks
Kirsten Blancato, Melissa Ness, Daniel Huber +2
Stellar variability is driven by a multitude of internal physical processes that depend on fundamental stellar properties. These properties are our bridge to reconciling stellar ob…
In the Galactic disk, stellar [Fe/H] and age predict orbits and precise [X/Fe]
Melissa K. Ness, Kathryn V. Johnston, Kirsten Blancato +4
We explore the structure of the element abundance--age--orbit distribution of the stars in the Milky Way's low- disk, by (re-)deriving precise [Fe/H], [X/Fe] and ages, along wit…
Variations in -element ratios trace the chemical evolution of the disk
Kirsten Blancato, Melissa Ness, Kathryn V. Johnston +2
It is well established that the chemical structure of the Milky Way exhibits a bimodality with respect to the -enhancement of stars at a given [Fe/H]. This has been studied larg…
Implications of galaxy buildup for putative IMF variations in massive galaxies
Kirsten Blancato, Shy Genel, Greg Bryan
Recent observational evidence for initial mass function (IMF) variations in massive quiescent galaxies at challenges the long-established paradigm of a universal IMF. While…
KELT-17b: A hot-Jupiter transiting an A-star in a misaligned orbit detected with Doppler tomography
George Zhou, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Karen A. Collins +45
We present the discovery of a hot-Jupiter transiting the V=9.23 mag main-sequence A-star KELT-17 (BD+14 1881). KELT-17b is a 1.31 -0.29/+0.28 Mj, 1.525 -0.060/+0.065 Rj hot-Jupiter…
CANDELS Visual Classifications: Scheme, Data Release, and First Results
Jeyhan S. Kartaltepe, Mark Mozena, Dale Kocevski +49
We have undertaken an ambitious program to visually classify all galaxies in the five CANDELS fields down to H<24.5 involving the dedicated efforts of 65 individual classifiers. On…
