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 th…

Discovery of Two Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies with Unusually Bright Globular Cluster Luminosity Functions via a Mark-Dependently Thinned Point Process (MATHPOP)
Dayi Li, Gwendolyn Eadie, Patrick Brown +8
We present \textsc{Mathpop}, a novel method to infer the globular cluster (GC) counts in ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) and low-surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs). Many known UDGs…

Should zeros count? Modeling the galaxy-globular cluster scaling relation with(out) zero-inflated count models
Samantha C. Berek, Gwendolyn M. Eadie, Joshua S. Speagle +1
The scaling relation between the size of a galaxy's globular cluster (GC) population () and the galaxy's stellar mass () is usually described with a continuous, linear…
