The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the Data Release 10 and 11 galaxy samples
Lauren Anderson, Eric Aubourg, Stephen Bailey +62
We present a one per cent measurement of the cosmic distance scale from the detections of the baryon acoustic oscillations in the clustering of galaxies from the Baryon Oscillation…
Statistical Searches for Microlensing Events in Large, Non-Uniformly Sampled Time-Domain Surveys: A Test Using Palomar Transient Factory Data
Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Marcel A. Agüeros, Amanda P. Fournier +7
Many photometric time-domain surveys are driven by specific goals, such as searches for supernovae or transiting exoplanets, which set the cadence with which fields are re-imaged.…
Spitzer, Gaia, and the Potential of the Milky Way
Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Kathryn V. Johnston
Near-future data from ESA's Gaia mission will provide precise, full phase-space information for hundreds of millions of stars out to heliocentric distances of ~10 kpc. This "horizo…
Astropy: A Community Python Package for Astronomy
The Astropy Collaboration, Thomas P. Robitaille, Erik J. Tollerud +42
We present the first public version (v0.2) of the open-source and community-developed Python package, Astropy. This package provides core astronomy-related functionality to the com…
