I describe the modeling of stellar ensembles in terms of probability distributions. This modeling is primary characterized by the number of stars included in...
Probing Milky Way Structure with Near-Infrared Diffuse Interstellar Bands
Astronomers have studied the set of interstellar absorption features known as the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) for nearly a century, characterizing them...
Probing nuclear activity versus star formation at z 0.8 using near-infrared multiobject spectroscopy
We present near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic observations of 28 X-ray and mid-infrared sources at a median redshift of z˜0.8 in the Extended Groth Strip (EGS)...
We have explored radial color and stellar surface mass density profiles for a sample of 85 late-type galaxies with available deep (down to˜27.0mag/arcsec2) SDSS...
Probing Planet Formation with APOGEE: A Dichotomy in Planet Orbital-Periods and Stellar Metallicities
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) is a near-infrared (1.5-1.7 microns), high resolution (R~22,500), high S/N (>100)...
Probing Rotational Dynamo Extremes: X-ray and Optical Spectroscopy of the 0.5 Day Period Eclipsing Binary, HD 79826
The highly modulated optical light curve of HD 79826 (spectral types G5+M5) was discovered in the \chan guide-star light curves, indicating a period of about 0...
Probing rotational dynamo extremes: X-ray and optical spectroscopy of the 0.5 day period eclipsing binary, HD 79826.
The highly modulated optical light curve of HD 79826 (spectral type G5) was discovered in the Chandra guide-star light curves, indicating a period of about 0.5...
