Bayesian inference for radio observations

Author: Lochner, Michelle ; Natarajan, Iniyan ; Zwart, Jonathan T L ; Smirnov, Oleg ; Bassett, Bruce A ; Oozeer, Nadeem ; Kunz, Martin Date: 25 New telescopes like the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) will push into a new sensitivity regime and expose systematics, such as direction-dependent effects, that could previously be ignored. Current methods for handling such systematics rely on ... Read more c b
Bayesian model selection with applications to radio astronomy

Author: Mootoovaloo, Arrykrishna Date: 2017 This thesis consists of two main parts, both of which focus on Bayesian methods and the problem of model selection in particular. The first part investigates a new approach to computing the Bayes factor for model selection without needing to ... Read more
SALT spectroscopy and classification of supernova spectra using Bayesian techniques

Author: Kasai, Eli Kunwiji Date: 2017 In this thesis, we present the Southern African Large Telescope spectroscopic follow-up programme for supernova candidates discovered by the international Dark Energy Survey, the goals of which are to measure the expansion history of the ... Read more
THE EFFECT OF WEAK LENSING ON DISTANCE ESTIMATES FROM SUPERNOVAE

Author: Smith, Mathew ; Bacon, David J ; Nichol, Robert C ; Campbell, Heather ; Clarkson, Chris ; Maartens, Roy ; D\'Andrea, Chris B ; Bassett, Bruce A ; Cinabro, David ; Finley, David A ; Frieman, Joshua A ; Galbany, Lluís ; Garnavich, Peter M ; Olmstead, Matthew D ; Schneider, Donald P ; Shapiro, Charles ; Sollerman, Jesper Date: 2014 Using a sample of 608 Type Ia supernovae from the SDSS-II and BOSS surveys, combined with a sample of foreground galaxies from SDSS-II, we estimate the weak lensing convergence for each supernova l ...

Author: Adelman‐McCarthy, Jennifer K ; AgYeros, Marcel A ; Allam, Sahar S ; Allende Prieto, Carlos ; Anderson, Kurt S J ; Anderson, Scott F ; Annis, James ; Bahcall, Neta A ; Bailer‐Jones, C A L ; Baldry, Ivan K ; Barentine, J C ; Bassett, Bruce A ; Becker, Andrew C ; Beers, Timothy C ; Bell, Eric F ; Berlind, Andreas A ; Bernardi, Mariangela ; Blanton, Michael R ; Bochanski, John J ; Boroski, William N ; Brinchmann, Jarle ; Brinkmann, J ; Brunner, Robert J ; Budavári, Tamás ; Carliles, Samuel ; Carr, Michael A ; Castander, Francisco J ; Cinabro, David ; Cool, R J ; Covey, Kevin R ; Csabai, István ; Cunha, Carlos E Date: 2008 This paper describes the Sixth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. With this data release, the imaging of the northern Galactic cap is now complete. The survey contains images and parameters of roughly 287 million objects over 9583 ... Read more
The type IA supernova rate in intermediate redshift galaxy clusters

Author: Kasai, Eli Kunwiji Date: 2013 Studies of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in galaxy clusters can tell us about the metal enrichment of the intra-cluster medium, constrain the star formation history of cluster galaxies, aid us in the investigations of the progenitor systems of ... Read more
