fast data analysis

In the afternoon, I discussed with Itay Yavin and Kyle Cranmer fast methods for fitting exoplanet orbits to stellar radial velocity data using Fourier or periodogram approaches. We were inspired by Bretthorst's book on Bayesian spectral analysis. In the morning, I discussed with Blanton and Demitri Muna (NYU) the detection in real time of supernovae (or other anomalies) in the SDSS-III BOSS spectroscopic data stream.
