The test applies in high dimensions, on learned feature representations, at large or small or imbalanced sample sizes, and to any data type on which a distance can be defined.https://connorjstone.com/publications/pixellated-psf-sampling/Wed, 26 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://connorjstone.com/publications/pixellated-psf-sampling/A framework for fully probabilistic, pixel-level inference of the point spread function directly from astronomical images, enabling principled uncertainty quantification in downstream photometric analyses.https://connorjstone.com/publications/caskade/Sun, 01 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://connorjstone.com/publications/caskade/caskade is a Python library for constructing modular, differentiable scientific simulators with automatic parameter tracking and Bayesian inference integration.https://connorjstone.com/publications/caustics/Sat, 22 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://connorjstone.com/publications/caustics/Caustics is a GPU-accelerated Python package for strong gravitational lensing forward modelling, enabling fast simulation and inference for large-scale lensing surveys.https://connorjstone.com/publications/astrophot/Thu, 03 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://connorjstone.com/publications/astrophot/AstroPhot is a Python package for simultaneous multi-band, multi-object photometric fitting of astronomical images using automatic differentiation and GPU acceleration.https://connorjstone.com/publications/probes-i/Tue, 20 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://connorjstone.com/publications/probes-i/PROBES-I presents a homogenised catalogue of 3163 deep optical rotation curves with matched multiband photometry for late-type galaxies, enabling precision tests of galaxy structure and dark matter models.https://connorjstone.com/publications/autoprof/Mon, 28 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://connorjstone.com/publications/autoprof/AutoProf is an automated pipeline for extracting non-parametric surface brightness profiles from galaxy images, designed to scale to the large datasets of modern wide-field surveys.https://connorjstone.com/publications/intrinsic-scatter-scaling/Wed, 14 Apr 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://connorjstone.com/publications/intrinsic-scatter-scaling/A Bayesian hierarchical analysis of the intrinsic scatter in late-type galaxy scaling relations, separating measurement error from genuine physical scatter and constraining galaxy formation models.https://connorjstone.com/publications/intrinsic-scatter-rar/Fri, 16 Aug 2019 00:00:00 +0000https://connorjstone.com/publications/intrinsic-scatter-rar/A statistical analysis of the intrinsic scatter in the Radial Acceleration Relation (RAR), placing tight constraints on the universality of the baryonic-to-total acceleration connection in late-type galaxies.
