The Astropy Problem
Demitri Muna, Michael Alexander, Alice Allen +151
The Astropy Project (http://astropy.org) is, in its own words, "a community effort to develop a single core package for Astronomy in Python and foster interoperability between Pyth…
The lensing and temperature imprints of voids on the Cosmic Microwave Background
Yan-Chuan Cai, Mark Neyrinck, Qingqing Mao +3
We have searched for the signature of cosmic voids in the CMB, in both the Planck temperature and lensing-convergence maps; voids should give decrements in both. We use zobov voids…
A Cosmic Void Catalog of SDSS DR12 BOSS Galaxies
Qingqing Mao, Andreas A. Berlind, Robert J. Scherrer +9
We present a cosmic void catalog using the large-scale structure galaxy catalog from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This galaxy catalog is part of the Sloan Di…
Cosmic Voids in the SDSS DR12 BOSS Galaxy Sample: The Alcock-Paczynski Test
Qingqing Mao, Andreas A. Berlind, Robert J. Scherrer +5
We apply the Alcock-Paczynski (AP) test to the stacked voids identified using the large-scale structure galaxy catalog from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This…
KELT-4Ab: An inflated Hot Jupiter transiting the bright (V~10) component of a hierarchical triple
Jason D. Eastman, Thomas G. Beatty, Robert J. Siverd +42
We report the discovery of KELT-4Ab, an inflated, transiting Hot Jupiter orbiting the brightest component of a hierarchical triple stellar system. The host star is an F star with $…
Probing Galactic Structure with the Spatial Correlation Function of SEGUE G-dwarf Stars
Qingqing Mao, Andreas A. Berlind, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann +8
We measure the two-point correlation function of G-dwarf stars within 1-3 kpc of the Sun in multiple lines-of-sight using the Schlesinger et al. G-dwarf sample from the SDSS SEGUE…
VIDE: The Void IDentification and Examination toolkit
P. M. Sutter, Guilhem Lavaux, Nico Hamaus +7
We present VIDE, the Void IDentification and Examination toolkit, an open-source Python/C++ code for finding cosmic voids in galaxy redshift surveys and N-body simulations, charact…
Constraining Primordial Non-Gaussianity with Moments of the Large Scale Density Field
Qingqing Mao, Andreas A. Berlind, Cameron K. McBride +3
We use cosmological N-body simulations to investigate whether measurements of the moments of large-scale structure can yield constraints on primordial non-Gaussianity. We measure t…
KELT-6b: A P~7.9 d Hot Saturn Transiting a Metal-Poor Star with a Long-Period Companion
Karen A. Collins, Jason D. Eastman, Thomas G. Beatty +39
We report the discovery of KELT-6b, a mildly-inflated Saturn-mass planet transiting a metal-poor host. The initial transit signal was identified in KELT-North survey data, and the…
KELT-3b: A Hot Jupiter Transiting a V=9.8 Late-F Star
Joshua Pepper, Robert J. Siverd, Thomas G. Beatty +31
We report the discovery of KELT-3b, a moderately inflated transiting hot Jupiter with a mass of 1.477 (-0.067, +0.066) M_J, and radius of 1.345 +/- 0.072 R_J, with an orbital perio…
From Finance to Cosmology: The Copula of Large-Scale Structure
Robert J. Scherrer, Andreas A. Berlind, Qingqing Mao +1
Any multivariate distribution can be uniquely decomposed into marginal (1-point) distributions, and a function called the copula, which contains all of the information on correlati…
