A novel approach to understanding the link between supermassive black holes and host galaxies
Gabriel Sasseville, Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo, Samantha C. Berek +5
The strongest and most universal scaling relation between a supermassive black hole and its host galaxy is known as the relation, where is the mass of the…
Practical Guidance for Bayesian Inference in Astronomy
Gwendolyn M. Eadie, Joshua S. Speagle, Jessi Cisewski-Kehe +5
In the last two decades, Bayesian inference has become commonplace in astronomy. At the same time, the choice of algorithms, terminology, notation, and interpretation of Bayesian i…
Clearing the hurdle: The mass of globular cluster systems as a function of host galaxy mass
Gwendolyn M. Eadie, William E. Harris, Aaron Springford
Current observational evidence suggests that all large galaxies contain globular clusters (GCs), while the smallest galaxies do not. Over what galaxy mass range does the transition…
Introducing Bayesian Analysis with $\text{m&m's}^\circledR$: an active-learning exercise for undergraduates
Gwendolyn Eadie, Daniela Huppenkothen, Aaron Springford +1
We present an active-learning strategy for undergraduates that applies Bayesian analysis to candy-covered chocolate $\text{m&m's}^\circledR$. The exercise is best suited for small…
Bayesian Mass Estimates of the Milky Way: including measurement uncertainties with hierarchical Bayes
Gwendolyn Eadie, Aaron Springford, William Harris
We present a hierarchical Bayesian method for estimating the total mass and mass profile of the Milky Way Galaxy. The new hierarchical Bayesian approach further improves the framew…
