1 Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling of Planet Populations Angie Wolfgang NSF Postdoctoral Fellow, Penn State
2 The Big Picture We ve found > 3000 planets, and counting. Earth s place in the Universe... We re measuring their properties. (Mass, radius, atmospheres, orbits, host stars, ) Habitable exoplanets?... so what s the physics involved? (How do they form, interact with their surroundings, change via which physical processes?)
3 The Big Picture 0 exoplanets.org 7/2/206 Planet Mass [Jupiter Mass] Mass of Star [Solar Mass] Orbital Period [Days] The Observed Population... so what s the physics involved? (How do they form, interact with their surroundings, change via which physical processes?)
4 The Big Picture 0 exoplanets.org 7/2/206 Planet Mass [Jupiter Mass] Deterministic planet formation model with physical parameters α (disk mass, viscosity ): f(m,p, α) 0. Mass of Star [Solar Mass] Orbital Period [Days] The Observed Population

Mass of Star [Solar Mass] Orbital Period [Days] exoplanets.org 7/2/206 The Observed Population From the outset: ) distributions of planet properties, 2) inference on α, 3) model comparison (f vs f2 vs f3).

Mass of Star [Solar Mass] Orbital Period [Days] exoplanets.org 7/2/206 The Observed Population From the outset: ) distributions of planet properties, 2) inference on α, 3) model comparison (f vs f2 vs f3). Straightforward, right?

10 What is Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling (HBM)? Arises naturally when want to make scientific inferences about a population based on many individuals. Regular Bayes: p(θ x) p(x θ) p(θ) posterior likelihood prior What is the probability that θ has some value, given the data? Parameters Observables Hierarchical Bayes: p(α,θ x) p(x θ,α) p(θ α) p(α) posterior likelihood prior Population Parameters Individual Parameters Mtrue, Ptrue, Observables Mobs, Pobs,
11 HBM for Exoplanets Hogg et al. 200 (orbital eccentricities) Morton & Winn, 204 Campante et al. 206 (angle between stellar spin & planet s orbit) Foreman-Mackey et al, 204 (Kepler occurrence rates) Demory 204 (geometric albedos) Rogers 205 (rocky-gaseous transition) Wolfgang & Lopez, 205 (super-earth composition distribution) Shabram et al. 206 (short-period eccentricity distribution) Wolfgang, Rogers, & Ford, 206 Chen & Kipping, submitted (mass-radius relationship) 203 SAMSI workshop on analyzing Kepler data All are some variation on this 3-level structure: (from Wolfgang et al. 206)
12 HBM for Exoplanets Hogg et al. 200 (orbital eccentricities) Morton & Winn, 204 Campante et al. 206 (angle between stellar spin & planet s orbit) Foreman-Mackey et al, 204 (Kepler occurrence rates) Demory 204 (geometric albedos) Rogers 205 (rocky-gaseous transition) Wolfgang & Lopez, 205 (super-earth composition distribution) Shabram et al. 206 (short-period eccentricity distribution) Wolfgang, Rogers, & Ford, 206 Chen & Kipping, submitted (mass-radius relationship) Already have posteriors for the observables? Can use importance sampling in multi-level models (Hogg et al. 200) More recently: full HBM using JAGS or own hierarchical MCMC code; many people moving to STAN

Constant C (M Earth ) Power law Index γ Intrinsic Scatter σ M (M Earth ) < RV_only.6 R Earth TTV_dynamical_fits < 4 R Earth Weiss_dataset < 8 R Earth Weiss & Marcy, Constant C (M Earth ) 0
15 Planet Mass [Jupiter Mass] Now: BIC, qualitative On the Theory Side 0. Mass of Star [Solar Mass] Orbital Period [Days] Mtrue, Ptrue, exoplanets.org 7/2/206 The Observed Population f(mtrue,ptrue, α) Next: Nested Sampling? Need your help! There are many competing theories; like to quantitatively compare which is a better fit to data.
16 Planet Mass [Jupiter Mass] More on the Theory Side Now: parametric functions, little theory 0. Mass of Star [Solar Mass] Orbital Period [Days] Mtrue, Ptrue, exoplanets.org 7/2/206 The Observed Population f(mtrue,ptrue, α) Next: incorporate emulator functions Planet formation is complicated, and f(m α) involves expensive computer simulations.
17 Emulators: An example Sub-Neptune compositions: Wolfgang & Lopez, 205 Wanted to understand BOTH: Population-wide Distributions Internal Structure Models Likelihood - compositions of individual super-earths (fraction of mass in a gaseous envelope: fenv) - the distribution of this composition parameter over the Kepler population (μ, σ). Now: internal structure models described by power laws Next: internal structure models described by nonparametric/ marginally parametric distributions
18 On the Data Side 0 Harder exoplanets.org 7/2/206 Planet Mass [Jupiter Mass] Harder Mass of Star [Solar Mass] Orbital Period [Days] Mtrue, Ptrue, Harder The Observed Population f(mtrue,ptrue, α)
19 Planet Mass [Jupiter Mass] 0 Harder Now: ignore p(detect) or cut stellar sample On the Data Side Harder 0. Mass of Star [Solar Mass] Orbital Period [Days] Mtrue, Ptrue, exoplanets.org 7/2/206 Harder The Observed Population f(mtrue,ptrue, α) Next: characterize and include p(detect) Non-trivial detection functions are present in the observed population
20 Example: Including p(det) Kepler occurrence rates: Foreman-Mackey et al. 204 p(det) characterized by injecting synthetic transit signals in data and running detection algorithm on them (Petigura et al. 204) Grid of recovery fraction vs. radius and period Incorporated with inferred occurrence rate (Poisson point process)
21 Example: Including p(det) Kepler occurrence rates: Foreman-Mackey et al. 204 p(det) characterized by injecting synthetic transit signals in data and running detection algorithm on them (Petigura et al. 204) But p(det) not always known... or even characterizable! Grid of recovery fraction vs. radius and period Incorporated with inferred occurrence rate (Poisson point process)
22 More on the Data Side Mass, radius, period is not what we actually observe, and current likelihoods p(mobs Mtrue) very simple 0 Harder exoplanets.org 7/2/206 Planet Mass [Jupiter Mass] Harder Mass of Star [Solar Mass] Orbital Period [Days] Mtrue, Ptrue, Harder The Observed Population f(mtrue,ptrue, α)
23 More on the Data Side Mass, radius, period is not what we actually observe, and current likelihoods p(mobs Mtrue) very simple 0 Harder exoplanets.org 7/2/206 Next: inference on population directly from RVs vs. time, flux vs. time Planet Mass [Jupiter Mass] Harder Mass of Star [Solar Mass] Orbital Period [Days] Mtrue, Ptrue, Harder The Observed Population f(mtrue,ptrue, α)
24 Even more on the Data Side But we don t actually observe RVs vs. time or flux vs. time either... our real data is light on a detector 0 exoplanets.org 7/2/206 Planet Mass [Jupiter Mass] Mass of Star [Solar Mass] Orbital Period [Days]
25 Even more on the Data Side But we don t actually observe RVs vs. time or flux vs. time either... our real data is light on a detector Next next: > 3 level HBMs, inference straight from the actual data Planet Mass [Jupiter Mass] exoplanets.org 7/2/ Orbital Period [Days] 0. Mass of Star [Solar Mass]
26 Next: Super-Earth Compositions Understanding selection effects in mass-radius space: Wolfgang, Jontof-Hutter, & Ford, in prep. figure courtesy of Daniel Jontof-Hutter But how exactly to evaluate the hierarchical model with unknown number of non-detections?
27 Next: Super-Earth Compositions Characterizing Joint Mass-Radius-Flux Distribution: Wolfgang, Jontof-Hutter, Rogers & Ford, in prep.
28 Next: Super-Earth Compositions Characterizing Joint Mass-Radius-Flux Distribution: Wolfgang, Jontof-Hutter, Rogers & Ford, in prep. Fc But many options for parameterizations hierarchical model comparisons? Poisson point process?
29 Next: Super-Earth Compositions Initial Sub-Neptune compositions: Wolfgang & Lopez, in prep. Population-wide Distributions Internal Structure Models Likelihood Need emulator function more accurate than power laws but still computationally easy.
30 Summary: Where we are: ~ a dozen exoplanet astronomers working on very simple hierarchical models describing distributions of planet properties Where we can go this year at SAMSI: ) Incorporate survey detection efficiency 2) Develop emulator functions to include computationally expensive theoretical simulations directly into HBM 3) Compare different theoretical models via hierarchical model comparison 4) Implement more realistic likelihoods: inference from lower-level data
