Comoving stars in Gaia DR1: An abundance of very wide separation co-moving pairs
Semyeong Oh, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, David W. Hogg +2
The primary sample of the {\it Gaia} Data Release 1 is the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS): 2 million Tycho-2 sources with improved parallaxes and proper motions r…
A Probabilistic Approach to Fitting Period-Luminosity Relations and Validating Gaia Parallaxes
Branimir Sesar, Morgan Fouesneau, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +3
Pulsating stars, such as Cepheids, Miras, and RR Lyrae stars, are important distance indicators and calibrators of the "cosmic distance ladder", and yet their period-luminosity-met…
The Astropy Problem
Demitri Muna, Michael Alexander, Alice Allen +151
The Astropy Project (http://astropy.org) is, in its own words, "a community effort to develop a single core package for Astronomy in Python and foster interoperability between Pyth…
The Joker: A custom Monte Carlo sampler for binary-star and exoplanet radial velocity data
Adrian M. Price-Whelan, David W. Hogg, Daniel Foreman-Mackey +1
Given sparse or low-quality radial-velocity measurements of a star, there are often many qualitatively different stellar or exoplanet companion orbit models that are consistent wit…
The clustering of galaxies in the completed SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: cosmological analysis of the DR12 galaxy sample
Shadab Alam, Metin Ata, Stephen Bailey +69
We present cosmological results from the final galaxy clustering data set of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III. Our combined gal…
A Population of Short-Period Variable Quasars from PTF as Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidates
M. Charisi, I. Bartos, Z. Haiman +5
Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) at sub-parsec separations should be common in galactic nuclei, as a result of frequent galaxy mergers. Hydrodynamical simulations of circu…
Spending too much time at the Galactic bar: chaotic fanning of the Ophiuchus stream
Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Branimir Sesar, Kathryn V. Johnston +1
The Ophiuchus stellar stream is peculiar: (1) its length is short given the age of its constituent stars, and (2) several probable member stars that lie close in both sky position…
