Bayesian Astrometric Likelihood Recover of Galactic Objects

BALRoGO

BALRoGO: Bayesian Astrometric Likelihood Recover of Galactic Objects.

• Specially developed to handle data from the Gaia space mission.
• Extracts galactic objects such as globular clusters and dwarf galaxies.
• Uses a combination of Bayesian and non-Bayesian approaches.
• Provides:
  • Fits of proper motion space.
  • Fits of surface density.
  • Fits of object center.
  • Confidence regions for the color-magnitude diagram and parallaxes.
