The X-shaped Bulge of the Milky Way revealed by WISE
Melissa Ness, Dustin Lang
The Milky Way bulge has a boxy/peanut morphology and an X-shaped structure. This X-shape has been revealed by the `split in the red clump' from star counts along the line of sight…
Celeste: Variational inference for a generative model of astronomical images
Jeffrey Regier, Andrew Miller, Jon McAuliffe +5
We present a new, fully generative model of optical telescope image sets, along with a variational procedure for inference. Each pixel intensity is treated as a Poisson random vari…
Results from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) Future Uses Session at the WISE at 5 Meeting
Jacqueline K. Faherty, K. Alatalo, L. D. Anderson +51
During the "WISE at 5: Legacy and Prospects" conference in Pasadena, CA -- which ran from February 10 - 12, 2015 -- attendees were invited to engage in an interactive session explo…
A Global Star Forming Episode in M31 2-4 Gyr Ago
Benjamin F. Williams, Julianne J. Dalcanton, Andrew E. Dolphin +9
We have identified a major global enhancement of star formation in the inner M31 disk that occurred between 2-4 Gyr ago, producing 60% of the stellar mass formed in the past…
Astronomical imaging: The theory of everything
David W. Hogg, Dustin Lang
We are developing automated systems to provide homogeneous calibration meta-data for heterogeneous imaging data, using the pixel content of the image alone where necessary. Standar…
Blind Date: Using proper motions to determine the ages of historical images
Jonathan T. Barron, David W. Hogg, Dustin Lang +1
Astrometric calibration is based on patterns of cataloged stars and therefore effectively assumes a particular epoch, which can be substantially incorrect for historical images. Wi…
