Automated eccentricity measurement from raw eclipsing binary light curves with intrinsic variability
Luc W. IJspeert, Andrew Tkachenko, Cole Johnston +3
Abstract abridged. Eclipsing binary systems provide the opportunity to measure the fundamental parameters of their component stars in a stellar-model-independent way. This makes th…
ATLASGAL -- Star forming efficiencies and the Galactic star formation rate
M. R. A. Wells, J. S. Urquhart, T. J. T. Moore +5
The ATLASGAL survey has characterised the properties of approximately 1000 embedded HII regions and found an empirical relationship between the clump mass and bolometric luminosity…
NEORL: NeuroEvolution Optimization with Reinforcement Learning
Majdi I. Radaideh, Katelin Du, Paul Seurin +4
We present an open-source Python framework for NeuroEvolution Optimization with Reinforcement Learning (NEORL) developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. NEORL offers…
Building and Calibrating the Binary Star Population Using Kepler Data
Mark Wells, Andrej Prša
Modeling binary star populations is critical to linking the theories of star formation and stellar evolution with observations. In order to test these theories, we need accurate mo…
SEDIGISM-ATLASGAL: Dense Gas Fraction and Star Formation Efficiency Across the Galactic Disk
J. S. Urquhart, C. Figura, J. R. Cross +32
By combining two surveys covering a large fraction of the molecular material in the Galactic disk we investigate the role the spiral arms play in the star formation process. We hav…
Finding the Needle in a Haystack: Detrending Photometric Timeseries Data of Strictly Periodic Astrophysical Objects
Andrej Prsa, Moses Zhang, Mark Wells
Light curves of astrophysical objects frequently contain strictly periodic signals. In those cases we can use that property to aid the detrending algorithm to fully disentangle an…
Period Variations for the Cepheid VZ Cyg
Krittanon Sirorattanakul, Scott Engle, Joshua Pepper +4
The Cepheid Period-Luminosity law is a key rung on the extragalactic distance ladder. However, numerous Cepheids are known to undergo period variations. Monitoring, refining, and u…
Initial Estimates on the Performance of the on the Detection of Eclipsing Binaries
Mark Wells, Andrej Prša, Lynne Jones +1
In this work we quantify the performance of on the detection of eclipsing binaries. We use observed binaries to create a large sample of simulated pseudo- bin…
