Revisiting the transits of CoRoT-7b at a lower activity level
The first super-Earth with measured radius discovered was CoRoT-7b and it has opened the new field of rocky exoplanet characterisation. To better understand...
RoadRunner: a fast and flexible exoplanet transit model
I present RoadRunner, a fast exoplanet transit model that can use any radially symmetric function to model stellar limb darkening (LD) while still being faster...
Robust sampling for weak lensing and clustering analyses with the Dark Energy Survey
Recent cosmological analyses rely on the ability to accurately sample from high-dimensional posterior distributions. A variety of algorithms have been applied...
Robust, open-source removal of systematics in Kepler data
We present ARC2 (Astrophysically Robust Correction 2), an open-source python-based systematics-correction pipeline, to correct for the Kepler prime mission long...
ROOSTER: a machine-learning analysis tool for Kepler stellar rotation periods
In order to understand stellar evolution, it is crucial to efficiently determine stellar surface rotation periods. Indeed, while they are of great importance in...
Rotationally resolved spectroscopy of (20000) Varuna in the near-infrared
Context. Models of the escape and retention of volatiles by minor icy objects exclude any presence of volatile ices on the surface of trans-Neptunian objects...
Rotationally resolved spectroscopy of dwarf planet (136472) Makemake
Context. Icy dwarf planets are key for studying the chemical and physical states of ices in the outer solar system. The study of secular and rotational...
Search for star clustering: methodology and application to the Two Micron Galactic Survey
A new approach to the study of the large-scale stellar cluster distribution in the Galaxy based on two-point correlation techniques is presented. The basic...
