Test with new flare light curve model #4

Open jradavenport opened 9 years ago

I would love to see this tested using the analytic light curve flare model we developed last year!

Definitely seems like something I should add to my summer to-do list!

I'm very interested in this as I'm continuing to work on flares in Kepler for the next few years as part of my NSF fellowship, so would love to help or collaborate in any way you're interested!

Hi James

Trying to apply your analytical flare model to our method would be interesting, so we should definitely discuss this more. I'm pretty busy over the next couple of weeks, but after that we should organise a telecon (although I imagine Daniel will be busy with his finals then!), or try and flesh out something we could work on by email. If I've not responded in a couple of weeks prod me into action. Of course, you're more than welcome to fork Bayesflare, or create another branch, to play about with yourself. Daniel and I should be able to help with any questions.

One other thing that I've started work on, and plan to try and devote some more time to over the next few months, is using the method in arXiv:1501.05251 (I've been discussing this with the two lead authors of that paper) to try and fit all the flares in Kepler light curves where flares have already been found. I've even started in the coding, but have lacked the time. So, if that's also something you're interested in I'd be happy to work with you too.

Cheers,

Matt
