The Host Galaxy of FRB 20190520B and Its Unique Ionized Gas Distribution

Xiang-Lei Chen, Chao-Wei Tsai, Daniel Stern +13

The properties of host galaxies associated with Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) provide critical information for inferring the progenitors and radiation mechanisms of these bursts. We rep…

An Exploration of How Training Set Composition Bias in Machine Learning Affects Identifying Rare Objects

Sean E. Lake, Chao-Wei Tsai

When training a machine learning classifier on data where one of the classes is intrinsically rare, the classifier will often assign too few sources to the rare class. To address t…

-corrections: an Examination of their Contribution to the Uncertainty of Luminosity Measurements

Sean E. Lake, E. L. Wright

In this paper we provide formulae that can be used to determine the uncertainty contributed to a measurement by a -correction and, thus, valuable information about which flux me…

UV-bright nearby early type galaxies observed in the mid-infrared: evidence for a multi-stage formation history by way of WISE and GALEX imaging

S. M. Petty, J. D. Neill, T. H. Jarrett +9

In the local Universe, 10% of massive elliptical galaxies are observed to exhibit a peculiar property: a substantial excess of ultraviolet emission (UVX) over what is expected from…
