A Bayesian Analysis of the Ages of Four Open Clusters

Elizabeth J. Jeffery, Ted von Hippel, David A. van Dyk +4

In this paper we apply a Bayesian technique to determine the best fit of stellar evolution models to find the main sequence turn off age and other cluster parameters of four interm…

The Power of Principled Bayesian Methods in the Study of Stellar Evolution

Ted von Hippel, David A. van Dyk, David C. Stenning +5

It takes years of effort employing the best telescopes and instruments to obtain high-quality stellar photometry, astrometry, and spectroscopy. Stellar evolution models contain the…

Bayesian Analysis for Stellar Evolution with Nine Parameters (BASE-9): User's Manual

Ted von Hippel, Elliot Robinson, Elizabeth Jeffery +6

BASE-9 is a Bayesian software suite that recovers star cluster and stellar parameters from photometry. BASE-9 is useful for analyzing single-age, single-metallicity star clusters,…

Bayesian Nonparametric Shrinkage Applied to Cepheid Star Oscillations

James Berger, William H. Jefferys, Peter Müller

Bayesian nonparametric regression with dependent wavelets has dual shrinkage properties: there is shrinkage through a dependent prior put on functional differences, and shrinkage t…

The White Dwarf Age of NGC 2477

Elizabeth J. Jeffery, Ted von Hippel, Steven DeGennaro +3

We present deep photometric observations of the open cluster NGC 2477 using HST/WFPC2. By identifying seven cluster white dwarf candidates, we present an analysis of the white dwar…

Statistical analysis of stellar evolution

David A. van Dyk, Steven DeGennaro, Nathan Stein +2

Color-Magnitude Diagrams (CMDs) are plots that compare the magnitudes (luminosities) of stars in different wavelengths of light (colors). High nonlinear correlations among the mass…
