在天体物理学中,我们通常的目标是为群体中的每个成员对象估计一个或多个参数,并研究拟合的参数在群体中的分布。在这篇文章中,我们开发了新的方法,使我们能够利用为这种逐例分析而设计的现有软件来同时拟合单个对象的参数和量化其在总体中的分布的参数。我们的方法基于贝叶斯分层模型,众所周知,贝叶斯分层模型为各个对象产生的参数估计器比基于个案分析的估计器平均更接近其真实值。我们通过一系列模拟研究,在估计银晕白矮星(WD)年龄的背景下验证了这一点。最后,我们将我们的新技术应用于10个候选晕的光学和近红外测光,以获得它们的年龄估计以及Gyr星系晕wd的平均年龄估计。尽管这个样本很小,但我们的技术为使用GAI任务的数据进行大规模研究奠定了基础。
In astrophysics, we often aim to estimate one or more parameters for each member object in a population and study the distribution of the fitted parameters across the population. In this paper, we develop novel methods that allow us to take advantage of existing software designed for such case-by-case analyses to simultaneously fit parameters of both the individual objects and the parameters that quantify their distribution across the population. Our methods are based on Bayesian hierarchical modelling that is known to produce parameter estimators for the individual objects that are on average closer to their true values than estimators based on case-by-case analyses. We verify this in the context of estimating ages of Galactic halo white dwarfs (WDs) via a series of simulation studies. Finally, we deploy our new techniques on optical and near-infrared photometry of 10 candidate halo WDs to obtain estimates of their ages along with an estimate of the mean age of Galactic halo WDs ofGyr. Although this sample is small, our technique lays the ground work for large-scale studies using data from theGaiamission.
