Mapping systematic errors in helium abundance determinations using Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Erik Aver, Keith A. Olive, Evan D. Skillman
Monte Carlo techniques have been used to evaluate the statistical and systematic uncertainties in the helium abundances derived from extragalactic H~II regions. The helium abundanc…

A New Approach to Systematic Uncertainties and Self-Consistency in Helium Abundance Determinations
Erik Aver, Keith A. Olive, Evan D. Skillman
Tests of big bang nucleosynthesis and early universe cosmology require precision measurements for helium abundance determinations. However, efforts to determine the primordial heli…
