Bayesian Astrophysics

Informationen zum Autor Andrés Asensio Ramos is an astrophysicist working as a researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, Tenerife, Spain. where he also completed his Ph.D. His current research focuses on the interpretation of spectropolarimetric signals in the Sun and other stars to infer properties about the magnetic field. His interests in astrophysics are spectropolarimetry, solar and stellar physics and Bayesian inference. Íñigo Arregui is an astrophysicist working at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias. He completed a Ph.D. in Physics at Universitat de les Illes Balears with a thesis on MHD waves in the solar atmosphere. His research focuses on the interpretation and modeling of wave activity in the solar atmosphere, designing tools for remote sensing of solar atmospheric plasmas, and the study of wave based plasma heating mechanisms. Klappentext Provides an overview of the fundamentals of Bayesian inference and its applications within astrophysics, for graduate students and researchers. Zusammenfassung This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers interested in Bayesian analysis in an astrophysical context. It provides the next generation of researchers with the tools of modern data analysis that are already becoming standard in current astrophysical research. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
