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…
