Inferring stellar properties using colours, parallaxes and an HRD prior
Stellar parameters – effective temperature, metallicity, interstellar extinction etc. – are typically estimated from a spectrum or multiband photometry. I outline a probabilistic method for estimating stellar parameters which uses not only the spectral energy distribution but also the apparent magnitude, parallax (if available) and the strong constraints provided by the Hertzsprung–Russell Diag...
متن کاملConsequences of Hipparcos Parallaxes for Stellar Evolutionary Models
Three binary systems in the Hyades open cluster (51 Tau, V818 Tau, and θ2 Tau), with known metallicity and good Johnson photometric data are used to test the validity of three independent sets of stellar evolutionary tracks. A statistical method is described and applied to the colour-magnitude diagram of the six selected components, giving rise to χ2-contours in the metallicity–age plane. The e...
متن کاملBayesian inference of stellar parameters and interstellar extinction using parallaxes and multiband photometry
ABSTRACT Astrometric surveys provide the opportunity to measure the absolute magnitudes of large numbers of stars, but only if the individual line-of-sight extinctions are known. Unfortunately, extinction is highly degenerate with stellar effective temperature when estimated from broad band optical/infrared photometry. To address this problem, I introduce a Bayesian method for estimating the in...
متن کاملThe true stellar parameters of the Kepler target list
Using population synthesis tools we create a synthetic Kepler Input Catalogue (KIC) and subject it to the Kepler Stellar Classification Program (SCP) method for determining stellar parameters such as the effective temperature Teff and surface gravity g. We achieve a satisfactory match between the synthetic KIC and the real KIC in the log g versus log Teff diagram, while there is a significant d...
متن کاملHume, Mill, Hill, and the sui generis epidemiologic approach to causal inference.
The epidemiologic approach to causal inference (i.e., Hill's viewpoints) consists of evaluating potential causes from the following 2, noncumulative angles: 1) established results from comparative, observational, or experimental epidemiologic studies; and 2) reviews of nonepidemiologic evidence. It does not involve statements of statistical significance. The philosophical roots of Hill's viewpo...
