Transit Timing Observations from Kepler. IX. Catalog of the Full Long-Cadence Data Set

1 code implementation6 Jun 2016 Tomer Holczer, Tsevi Mazeh, Gil Nachmani, Daniel Jontof-Hutter, Eric B. Ford, Daniel Fabrycky, Darin Ragozzine, Mackenzie Kane, Jason H. Steffen

For 779 KOIs with high enough SNRs, we derived the timing, duration and depth of 69, 914 transits.

Geometric adaptive Monte Carlo in random environment

3 code implementations29 Aug 2016 Theodore Papamarkou, Alexey Lindo, Eric B. Ford

This paper analyzes the computational complexity of manifold Langevin Monte Carlo and proposes a geometric adaptive Monte Carlo sampler aimed at balancing the benefits of exploiting local geometry with computational cost to achieve a high effective sample size for a given computational cost.

Quantifying the Evidence for a Planet in Radial Velocity Data

1 code implementation12 Jun 2018 Benjamin E. Nelson, Eric B. Ford, Johannes Buchner, Ryan Cloutier, Rodrigo F. Díaz, João P. Faria, Vinesh M. Rajpaul, Surangkhana Rukdee

We found the dispersion in $\widehat{\mathcal{Z}}$ across different methods grew with increasing $n$-planet models: $\sim\,$3 for 0-planets, $\sim\,$10 for 1-planet, $\sim\,$$10^2$-$10^3$ for 2-planets, and $>\,$$10^4$ for 3-planets.

Occurrence Rates of Planets orbiting FGK Stars: Combining Kepler DR25, Gaia DR2 and Bayesian Inference

2 code implementations4 Feb 2019 Danley C. Hsu, Eric B. Ford, Darin Ragozzine, Keir Ashby

We characterize the occurrence rate of planets, ranging in size from 0. 5-16 R$_\oplus$, orbiting FGK stars with orbital periods from 0. 5-500 days.

Architectures of Exoplanetary Systems. I: A Clustered Forward Model for Exoplanetary Systems around Kepler's FGK Stars

3 code implementations17 Jul 2019 Matthias Y. He, Eric B. Ford, Darin Ragozzine

We find that the Kepler dichotomy is evidence for a population of highly-inclined planetary systems and is unlikely to be solely due to a population of intrinsically single planet systems.

Occurrence Rates of Planets Orbiting M Stars: Applying ABC to Kepler DR25, Gaia DR2, and 2MASS Data

1 code implementation7 Feb 2020 Danley C. Hsu, Eric B. Ford, Ryan Terrien

We caution that occurrence rate estimates for Kepler M stars are sensitive to the choice of prior due to the small sample of target stars and planet candidates.

Architectures of Exoplanetary Systems. II: An Intrinsic Relation between Planetary System Occurrence and Spectral Type for Kepler's FGK Dwarfs

1 code implementation9 Mar 2020 Matthias Y. He, Eric B. Ford, Darin Ragozzine

He, Ford, & Ragozzine (2019) (arXiv:1907. 07773) applied forward modelling to infer the distribution of intrinsic architectures of planetary systems, developed a clustered Poisson point process model for exoplanetary systems (SysSim) to reproduce the marginal distributions of the observed Kepler population, and showed that orbital periods and planet radii are clustered within a given planetary system.

Architectures of Exoplanetary Systems: Eccentricity and Mutual Inclination Distributions of AMD-Stable Planetary Systems

1 code implementation28 Jul 2020 Matthias Y. He, Eric B. Ford, Darin Ragozzine, Daniel Carrera

We show that distributing a planetary system's maximum AMD amongst its planets results in a multiplicity-dependent distribution of eccentricities and mutual inclinations.

Toward Extremely Precise Radial Velocities: II. A Tool For Using Multivariate Gaussian Processes to Model Stellar Activity

1 code implementation2 Sep 2020 Christian Gilbertson, Eric B. Ford, David E. Jones, David C. Stenning

Rajpaul et al. (2015) and Jones et al. (2017) proposed applying a physically motivated, multivariate Gaussian process (GP) to jointly model the apparent Doppler shift and multiple indicators of stellar activity as a function of time, so as to separate the planetary signal from various forms of stellar variability.

We present occurrence rates for rocky planets in the habitable zones (HZ) of main-sequence dwarf stars based on the Kepler DR25 planet candidate catalog and Gaia-based stellar properties.
