Explainable Time Series Prediction of Tyre Energy in Formula One Race Strategy Open
Formula One (F1) race strategy takes place in a high-pressure and fast-paced environment where split-second decisions can drastically affect race results. Two of the core decisions of race strategy are when to make pit stops (i.e. replace …

Explainable Reinforcement Learning for Formula One Race Strategy Open
In Formula One, teams compete to develop their cars and achieve the highest\npossible finishing position in each race. During a race, however, teams are\nunable to alter the car, so they must improve their cars' finishing positions\nvia ra…

H α fluxes and extinction distances for planetary nebulae in the IPHAS survey of the northern galactic plane Open
We report H α filter photometry for 197 Northern hemisphere planetary nebulae (PNe) obtained using imaging data from the IPHAS survey. H α+[N ii] fluxes were measured for 46 confirmed or possible PNe discovered by the IPHAS survey and for …

Large-scale three-dimensional Gaussian process extinction mapping Open
Gaussian processes are the ideal tool for modelling the Galactic ISM, combining statistical flexibility with a good match to the underlying physics. In an earlier paper we outlined how they can be employed to construct three-dimensional ma…

Three-dimensional extinction mapping and selection effects Open
Selection effects can bedevil the inference of the properties of a population\nof astronomical catalogues, unavoidably biasing the observed catalogue. This is\nparticularly true when mapping interstellar extinction in three dimensions:\nmo…

New OB star candidates in the Carina Arm around Westerlund 2 from VPHAS+ Open
O and early B stars are at the apex of galactic ecology, but in the Milky Way, only a minority of them may yet have been identified. We present the results of a pilot study to select and parametrize OB star candidates in the Southern Galac…

Marginal likelihoods of distances and extinctions to stars: computation and compact representation Open
We present a method for obtaining the likelihood function of distance and\nextinction to a star given its photometry. The other properties of the star\n(its mass, age, metallicity and so on) are marginalised assuming a simple\nGalaxy model…
