SPECULATOR: Emulating stellar population synthesis for fast and accurate galaxy spectra and photometry

1 code implementation26 Nov 2019 Justin Alsing, Hiranya Peiris, Joel Leja, ChangHoon Hahn, Rita Tojeiro, Daniel Mortlock, Boris Leistedt, Benjamin D. Johnson, Charlie Conroy

We present \textsc{speculator} -- a fast, accurate, and flexible framework for emulating stellar population synthesis (SPS) models for predicting galaxy spectra and photometry.

Inferring binary and trinary stellar populations in photometric and astrometric surveys

1 code implementation25 Jan 2018 Axel Widmark, Boris Leistedt, David W. Hogg

Multiple stellar systems are ubiquitous in the Milky Way, but are often unresolved and seen as single objects in spectroscopic, photometric, and astrometric surveys.

Improving \textsl{Gaia} parallax precision with a data-driven model of stars

1 code implementation15 Jun 2017 Lauren Anderson, David W. Hogg, Boris Leistedt, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Jo Bovy

Usually this prior represents beliefs about the stellar density distribution of the Milky Way.

Hierarchical Bayesian inference of galaxy redshift distributions from photometric surveys

1 code implementation18 Feb 2016 Boris Leistedt, Daniel J. Mortlock, Hiranya V. Peiris

We illustrate this technique on simulated galaxy survey data, and demonstrate that it delivers correct posterior distributions on the underlying type and redshift distributions, as well as on the individual types and redshifts of galaxies.

Second-Generation Curvelets on the Sphere

no code implementations17 Nov 2015 Jennifer Y. H. Chan, Boris Leistedt, Thomas D. Kitching, Jason D. McEwen

We present a new second-generation curvelet transform, where scale-discretised curvelets are constructed directly on the sphere.

Directional spin wavelets on the sphere

no code implementations22 Sep 2015 Jason D. McEwen, Boris Leistedt, Martin Büttner, Hiranya V. Peiris, Yves Wiaux

We construct a directional spin wavelet framework on the sphere by generalising the scalar scale-discretised wavelet transform to signals of arbitrary spin.
