Robust sampling for weak lensing and clustering analyses with the Dark Energy Survey
Recent cosmological analyses rely on the ability to accurately sample from high-dimensional posterior distributions. A variety of algorithms have been applied...
Robust, open-source removal of systematics in Kepler data
We present ARC2 (Astrophysically Robust Correction 2), an open-source python-based systematics-correction pipeline, to correct for the Kepler prime mission long...
Robustness of cosmic neutrino background detection in the cosmic microwave background
The existence of a cosmic neutrino background can be probed indirectly by CMB experiments, not only by measuring the background density of radiation in the...
Roche tomography of cataclysmic variables - III. Star-spots on AE Aqr
We present a Roche tomography reconstruction of the secondary star in the cataclysmic variable AE Aqr. The tomogram reveals several surface inhomogeneities that...
Roche tomography of cataclysmic variables - IV. Star-spots and slingshot prominences on BV Cen
We present Roche tomograms of the G5-G8 IV/V secondary star in the long-period cataclysmic variable BV Cen reconstructed from Magellan Inamori Kyocera Echelle...
Roche tomography of cataclysmic variables - VI. Differential rotation of AE Aqr - not tidally locked!
We present Roche tomograms of the K4V secondary star in the cataclysmic variable AE Aqr, reconstructed from two data sets taken 9 d apart, and measure the...
Roche tomography of cataclysmic variables - VII. The long-term magnetic activity of AE Aqr
We present a long-term study of the secondary star in the cataclysmic variable AE Aqr, using Roche tomography to indirectly image starspots on the stellar...
Role of host star variability in the detectability of planetary phase curves
Phase curves, or the change in observed illumination of the planet as it orbits around its host star, help us to characterize their atmospheres. However, the...
