Dimensional reduction for sampled priors and application to photometric redshift distributions
Gary Bernstein, William Assignies Doumerg, Michael A. Troxel +35
A typical Bayesian inference on the values of some parameters of interest from some data involves running a Markov Chain (MC) to sample from the posterior $p({\bf q},{\…
Removing atmospheric turbulence from ground-based astrometry with fast correlation function measurements
Daniel C. H. Gomes, Gary M. Bernstein, Claire-Alice Hébert
We present a code that removes of the variance in astrometric measurements caused by atmospheric turbulence, by using Gaussian process regression (GPR) to interpolate t…
Determinations of asteroid masses using mutual encounters observed in the Legacy Survey of Space and Time
Gary M. Bernstein, Negin Najafi, Daniel C. H. Gomes
Using published simulations of the 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), we forecast its ability to determine the masses of individual main-belt asteroids (MBAs) through…
An Extremely Deep Rubin Survey to Explore the Extended Kuiper Belt and Identify Objects Observable by New Horizons
JJ Kavelaars, Marc W. Buie, Wesley C. Fraser +22
A proposed Vera C. Rubin Observatory Deep Drilling micro-survey of the Kuiper Belt will investigate key properties of the distant solar system. Utilizing 30 hours of Rubin time acr…
Brownian motion of main-belt asteroids on human timescales
Gary M. Bernstein
The explosion of high-precision astrometric data on main-belt asteroids (MBAs) enables new inferences on gravitational and non-gravitational forces present in this region. We estim…
An automated occultation network for gravitational mapping of the trans-neptunian solar system
Daniel C. H. Gomes, Gary M. Bernstein
We explore the potential of an array of O(100) small fixed telescopes, aligned along a meridian and automated to measure millions of occultations of Gaia stars by minor planets, to…
