Inference of stellar parameters from brightness variations

1 code implementation11 May 2018 Melissa K. Ness, Victor Silva Aguirre, Mikkel N. Lund, Matteo Cantiello, Daniel Foreman-Mackey, David W. Hogg, Ruth Angus

We find that this model, trained using 1000 stars, can be used to recover the temperature $T_{\rm eff}$ to $<$100 K, the surface gravity to $<$ 0. 1 dex, and the asteroseismic power-spectrum parameters $\rm \nu_{max}$ and $\rm \Delta{\nu}$ to $<11$ $\mu$Hz and $<0. 9$ $\mu$Hz ($\lesssim$ 15\%).
