Experiences of WFPC-2 Photometry and PSF Modelling

The wide-field chips in WFPC-2 have ~0.0996 arcsec pixels, which is larger than the FWHM of the point spread function (PSF). This poor sampling of WFPC-2 images, means that simple stellar aperture photometry is competitive with profile fitting for moderately crowded fields. One of the problems which must be addressed with profile fitting photometry is that of allowing for variations of the PSF as a function of position on the image. The equivalent problem for aperture photometry is obtaining aperture corrections as a function of position. The aperture correction must be added to each aperture magnitude in order to account for the flux from the star falling outside the aperture. If the aperture used is large, and with WFPC-2 this means about 1 arcsec in diameter, then the aperture corrections will be both small and fairly constant. However, to obtain better signal-to-noise especially in crowded fields, and hence take full advantage of the superb resolution of HST, it is desirable to use smaller apertures

Double Immunofluorescence Microscopy: A Method for Localizing Immune Deposits in Skin Diseases Associated with Linear Basement Membrane Zone Immunofluorescence

Direct immunofluorescence microscopy has shown that a linear pattern of immunoglobulin and/or complement deposition at the cutaneous basement membrane zone is a characteristic feature in a number of acquired bullous diseases and is occasionally observed in systemic lupus erythematosus. Immunoelectron microscopy has shown the linear pattern of immunofluorescence may be produced by immune deposits located either above the basal lamina (in the lamina lucida) or below the basal lamina (in the upper dermis). Distinguishing between these sites of immune reactant deposition may be of value in differential diagnosis. In this study we report a double immunofluorescent method by which skin biopsies with linear IgG immunofluorescence due to deposits above the basal lamina (bullous pemphigoid) could be distinguished from biopsies with deposits beneath the basal lamina (bullous systemic lupus erythematosus and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita). When skin sections were treated sequentially with rhodamine-labeled anti-human IgG followed by fluorescein-labeled antilamina lucida (pemphigoid) antibody and examined by fluorescence microscopy, the following results were obtained. In biopsies with IgG deposits in the lamina lucida, a single green fluorescent band was observed. In tissues with subbasal lamina deposits, either parallel and contiguous bands of green and yellow-orange fluorescence or a single band of yellow-orange fluorescence was observed. The method is simpler, quicker, and less expensive than immunoelectron microscopy and should be a useful technique for evaluating skin diseases with linear immunofluorescence at the basement membrane zone

Gaia, White Dwarfs, and the Age of the Galaxy

The Milky Way is composed of four major stellar populations: the thin disk, thick disk, bulge, and halo. At present, we do not know the age of any of these populations to better than one or two billion years. This lack of knowledge keeps us from answering fundamental questions about the Galaxy: When did the thin disk, thick disk, and halo form? Did they form over an extended period, and if so, how long? Was star formation continuous across these populations or instead occur in distinct episodes? The Gaia satellite is providing precise trigonometric parallaxes for a plethora of white dwarfs in each of these populations. We combine these parallaxes (and hence, distances) with photometry and analyze them using a modeling technique that relies on Bayesian statistics. This allows us to derive precise ages for individual white dwarfs and determine the age distribution and star formation history for each of the constituents of our Galaxy. Here we will present current progress in this endeavor, with emphasis on the ages of individual white dwarfs in the Hyades. Measuring the ages of individual white dwarfs in well-studied clusters provides proof of concept for our technique, as well exploration of any systematic offsets caused from timescales from main sequence models, as well as the initial-final mass relation

A Hierarchical Model for the Ages of Galactic Halo White Dwarfs

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 which 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 ten candidate halo WDs to obtain estimates of their ages along with an estimate of the mean age of Galactic halo WDs of 12.11 +0.85-0.86 Gyr. Although this sample is small, our technique lays the ground work for large-scale studies using data from the Gaia mission
