CometGPs

Using Gaussian Processes to model the light curves of asteroids and comets.

We would like to:

  • reliably detect periods and estimate their uncertainties with sparse data
  • reliable estimate the amplitude of the variations and its uncertainties
  • (future): take into account trends in the pulse profile and the overall light curve shape
  • (future): think about forecasting where ideal future observations should take place
