Of Genes and Machines: Application of a Combination of Machine Learning Tools to Astronomy Data Sets (2016)
Journal Article
Heinis, S., Kumar, S., Gezari, S., Burgett, W., Chambers, K., Draper, P., …Waters, C. (2016). Of Genes and Machines: Application of a Combination of Machine Learning Tools to Astronomy Data Sets. Astrophysical Journal, 821(2), Article 86. https://doi.org/10.3847/0004-637x/821/2/86

We apply a combination of genetic algorithm (GA) and support vector machine (SVM) machine learning algorithms to solve two important problems faced by the astronomical community: star–galaxy separation and photometric redshift estimation of galaxies...

Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): Accurate Panchromatic Photometry from Optical Priors using LAMBDAR (2016)
Journal Article
Wright, A., Robotham, A., Bourne, N., Driver, S., Dunne, L., Maddox, S., …Wilkins, S. (2016). Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): Accurate Panchromatic Photometry from Optical Priors using LAMBDAR. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 460(1), 765-801. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stw832

We present the Lambda Adaptive Multi-Band Deblending Algorithm in R (LAMBDAR), a novel code for calculating matched aperture photometry across images that are neither pixel- nor PSF-matched, using prior aperture definitions derived from high-resoluti...

The Optical-infrared Extinction Curve and Its Variation in the Milky Way (2016)
Journal Article
Schlafly, E., Meisner, A., Stutz, A., Kainulainen, J., Peek, J., Tchernyshyov, K., …Waters, C. (2016). The Optical-infrared Extinction Curve and Its Variation in the Milky Way. Astrophysical Journal, 821(2), Article 78. https://doi.org/10.3847/0004-637x/821/2/78

The dust extinction curve is a critical component of many observational programs and an important diagnostic of the physics of the interstellar medium. Here we present new measurements of the dust extinction curve and its variation toward tens of tho... Read More about The Optical-infrared Extinction Curve and Its Variation in the Milky Way.

Discovery of a Supercluster at z ~ 0.91 and Testing the ΛCDM Cosmological Model (2016)
Journal Article
Kim, J., Im, M., Lee, S., Edge, A. C., Hyun, M., Kim, D., …Yoon, Y. (2016). Discovery of a Supercluster at z ~ 0.91 and Testing the ΛCDM Cosmological Model. Astrophysical Journal Letters, 821(1), https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8205/821/1/l10

The ΛCDM cosmological model successfully reproduces many aspects of the galaxy and structure formation of the universe. However, the growth of large-scale structures (LSSs) in the early universe is not well tested yet with observational data. Here, w...

Age decreases mitochondrial motility and increases mitochondrial size in vascular smooth muscle (2016)
Journal Article
Chalmers, S., Saunter, C., Girkin, J., & McCarron, J. (2016). Age decreases mitochondrial motility and increases mitochondrial size in vascular smooth muscle. The Journal of Physiology, 594(15), 4283-4295. https://doi.org/10.1113/jp271942

Mitochondrial function, motility and architecture are each central to cell function. Age-associated mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to vascular disease. However, mitochondrial changes in ageing remain ill-defined because of the challenges of...

Two scales in Bose–Einstein correlations (2016)
Journal Article
Khoze, V., Martin, A., Ryskin, M., & Schegelsky, V. (2016). Two scales in Bose–Einstein correlations. The European Physical Journal C, 76(4), Article 193. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-016-4055-3

We argue that the secondaries produced in high-energy hadron collisions are emitted by small-size sources distributed over a much larger area in impact parameter space occupied by the interaction amplitude. That is, Bose–Einstein correlation of two e... Read More about Two scales in Bose–Einstein correlations.
