Bayesian Estimation of the Factor and Thermonuclear Reaction Rate for O(p,)F

Christian Iliadis, Vimal Palanivelrajan, Rafael S. de Souza

The O(p,)F reaction is the slowest hydrogen-burning process in the CNO mass region. Its thermonuclear rate sensitively impacts predictions of oxygen isotopic ratio…

A high occurrence of nuclear star clusters in faint Coma galaxies, and the roles of mass and environment

Emilio J. B. Zanatta, Rubén Sánchez-Janssen, Ana L. Chies-Santos +2

We use deep high resolution \textit{HST/ACS} imaging of two fields in the core of the Coma cluster to investigate the occurrence of nuclear star clusters (NSCs) in quiescent dwarf…

Women in academia: a warning on selection bias in gender studies from the astronomical perspective

M. L. L. Dantas, E. Cameron, Rafael S. de Souza +13

The recent paper by AlShebli et al. (2020) investigates the impact of mentorship in young scientists. Among their conclusions, they state that female protégés benefit more from mal…

SPICY: The Spitzer/IRAC Candidate YSO Catalog for the Inner Galactic Midplane

Michael A. Kuhn, Rafael S. de Souza, Alberto Krone-Martins +4

We present ~120,000 Spitzer/IRAC candidate young stellar objects (YSOs) based on surveys of the Galactic midplane between l~255 deg and 110 deg, including the GLIMPSE I, II, and 3D…

Active learning with RESSPECT: Resource allocation for extragalactic astronomical transients

Noble Kennamer, Emille E. O. Ishida, Santiago Gonzalez-Gaitan +12

The recent increase in volume and complexity of available astronomical data has led to a wide use of supervised machine learning techniques. Active learning strategies have been pr…

Hierarchical Bayesian Thermonuclear Rate for the Be(n,p)Li Big Bang Nucleosynthesis Reaction

Rafael S. de Souza, Tan Hong Kiat, Alain Coc +1

Big bang nucleosynthesis provides the earliest probe of standard model physics, at a time when the universe was less than a thousand seconds old. It determines the abundances of th…
