The past two decades have seen a major expansion in the availability, size, and precision of
time-domain data sets in astronomy. Owing to their unique combination of flexibility …

Detailed characterization of an extrasolar planet's atmosphere provides the best hope for
distinguishing the makeup of its outer layers, and the only hope for understanding the …

The atmospheres of gaseous giant exoplanets orbiting close to their parent stars (hot
Jupiters) have been probed for nearly two decades,. They allow us to investigate the …

The growing field of large-scale time domain astronomy requires methods for probabilistic
data analysis that are computationally tractable, even with large data sets. Gaussian …

Population studies of exoplanets are key to unlocking their statistical properties. So far, the
inferred properties have been mostly limited to planetary, orbital, and stellar parameters …

We present the analysis of five black hole candidates identified from gravitational
microlensing surveys. Hubble Space Telescope astrometric data and densely sampled light …

Thousands of transiting exoplanets have been discovered, but spectral analysis of their
atmospheres has so far been dominated by a small number of exoplanets and data …

Variability in the light curves of spotted, rotating stars is often non-sinusoidal and quasi-
periodic–spots move on the stellar surface and have finite lifetimes, causing stellar flux …

We present a consistent optimal estimation retrieval analysis of 10 hot Jupiter exoplanets,
each with transmission spectral data spanning the visible to near-infrared wavelength range …

Transport-induced quenching, ie the homogenization of chemical abundances by
atmospheric advection, is thought to occur in the atmospheres of hot gas giant exoplanets …
