An Algorithm for Reconstructing the Orphan Stream Progenitor with MilkyWay@home Volunteer Computing

Siddhartha Shelton, Heidi Jo Newberg, Jake Weiss +16

We have developed a method for estimating the properties of the progenitor dwarf galaxy from the tidal stream of stars that were ripped from it as it fell into the Milky Way. In pa…

A Robust Asynchronous Newton Method for Massive Scale Computing Systems

Travis Desell, Malik Magdon-Ismail, Heidi Newberg +3

Volunteer computing grids offer super-computing levels of computing power at the relatively low cost of operating a server. In previous work, the authors have shown that it is poss…

Statistical Properties of Blue Horizontal Branch Stars in the Spheroid: Detection of a Moving Group approximately 50 kpc from the Sun

Matthew J. Harrigan, Heidi Jo Newberg, Lee A. Newberg +4

A new moving group comprising at least four Blue Horizontal Branch (BHB) stars is identified at (l,b) = (65 deg, 48 deg). The horizontal branch at g0=18.9 magnitude implies a dista…

Effect of Night Laboratories on Learning Objectives for a Non-Major Astronomy Class

Ian C. Jacobi, Heidi Jo Newberg, Darren Broder +5

We tested the effectiveness on learning of hands-on, night-time laboratories that challenged student misconceptions in a non-major introductory astronomy class at Rensselaer Polyte…
