MOSFiT: Modular Open-Source Fitter for Transients
James Guillochon, Matt Nicholl, V. Ashley Villar +5
Much of the progress made in time-domain astronomy is accomplished by relating observational multi-wavelength time series data to models derived from our understanding of physical…
A dependence of the tidal disruption event rate on global stellar surface mass density and stellar velocity dispersion
Or Graur, K. Decker French, H. Jabran Zahid +4
The rate of tidal disruption events (TDEs), , is predicted to depend on stellar conditions near the super-massive black hole (SMBH), which are on difficult-to-measure…
Orbits of massive satellite galaxies: II. Bayesian Estimates of the Milky Way and Andromeda masses using high precision astrometry and cosmological simulations
Ekta Patel, Gurtina Besla, Kaisey Mandel
Space observatories like the Hubble Space Telescope and Gaia are providing unprecedented 6D phase space information of satellite galaxies. Such measurements can shed light on the s…
Disentangling Time Series Spectra with Gaussian Processes: Applications to Radial Velocity Analysis
Ian Czekala, Kaisey S. Mandel, Sean M. Andrews +4
Measurements of radial velocity variations from the spectroscopic monitoring of stars and their companions are essential for a broad swath of astrophysics, providing access to the…
Simulations of the WFIRST Supernova Survey and Forecasts of Cosmological Constraints
R. Hounsell, D. Scolnic, R. J. Foley +14
The Wide Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST) was the highest ranked large space-based mission of the 2010 New Worlds, New Horizons decadal survey. It is now a NASA mission in…
