Removing systematic errors for exoplanet search via latent causes
Bernhard Schölkopf, David W. Hogg, Dun Wang +4
We describe a method for removing the effect of confounders in order to reconstruct a latent quantity of interest. The method, referred to as half-sibling regression, is inspired b…
Calibrating Gyrochronology using Kepler Asteroseismic targets
Ruth Angus, Suzanne Aigrain, Daniel Foreman-Mackey +1
Among the available methods for dating stars, gyrochronology is a powerful one because it requires knowledge of only the star's mass and rotation period. Gyrochronology relations h…
The High-Mass Stellar Initial Mass Function in M31 Clusters
Daniel R. Weisz, L. Clifton Johnson, Daniel Foreman-Mackey +16
We have undertaken the largest systematic study of the high-mass stellar initial mass function (IMF) to date using the optical color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of 85 resolved, young…
A systematic search for transiting planets in the K2 data
Daniel Foreman-Mackey, Benjamin T. Montet, David W. Hogg +3
Photometry of stars from the K2 extension of NASA's Kepler mission is afflicted by systematic effects caused by small (few-pixel) drifts in the telescope pointing and other spacecr…
Radial Velocity Observations and Light Curve Noise Modeling Confirm That Kepler-91b is a Giant Planet Orbiting a Giant Star
Thomas Barclay, Michael Endl, Daniel Huber +5
Kepler-91b is a rare example of a transiting hot Jupiter around a red giant star, providing the possibility to study the formation and composition of hot Jupiters under different c…
Exoplanet population inference and the abundance of Earth analogs from noisy, incomplete catalogs
Daniel Foreman-Mackey, David W. Hogg, Timothy D. Morton
No true extrasolar Earth analog is known. Hundreds of planets have been found around Sun-like stars that are either Earth-sized but on shorter periods, or else on year-long orbits…
