Accounting for Source Uncertainties in Analyses of Astronomical Survey Data
Thomas J. Loredo
I discuss an issue arising in analyzing data from astronomical surveys: accounting for measurement uncertainties in the properties of individual sources detected in a survey when m…
Bayesian Adaptive Exploration
Thomas J. Loredo
I describe a framework for adaptive scientific exploration based on iterating an Observation--Inference--Design cycle that allows adjustment of hypotheses and observing protocols i…
Search for high-frequency periodicities in time-tagged event data from gamma ray bursts and soft gamma repeaters
Adam T. Kruger, Thomas J. Loredo, Ira Wasserman
We analyze the Time-Tagged Event (TTE) data from observations of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) by the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE). These…
Bayesian analysis of neutrinos observed from supernova SN 1987A
Thomas J. Loredo, Don Q. Lamb
We present a Bayesian analysis of the energies and arrival times of the neutrinos from supernova SN 1987A detected by the Kamiokande II, IMB, and Baksan detectors, and find strong…
Type Ia Supernovae, Evolution, and the Cosmological Constant
Persis S. Drell, Thomas J. Loredo, Ira Wasserman
We explore the possible role of evolution in the analysis of data on SNe Ia at cosmological distances. First, using a variety of simple sleuthing techniques, we find evidence that…
Pencil-Beam Surveys for Faint Trans-Neptunian Objects
Brett Gladman, JJ Kavelaars, Philip D. Nicholson +2
We have conducted pencil-beam searches for outer solar system objects to a limiting magnitude of R ~ 26. Five new trans-neptunian objects were detected in these searches. Our combi…
