Results to date

  • Synthetic galaxy models
    • Successful tests with many galactic disks with different properties
    • Hierarchical empirical prior scheme robustly converges to true solution for a high-dimensional model.

    Simulation with a standard weakly informative prior does not converge!

  • 2MASS star count analysis (in progress)
    • Extinction, physical density distribution, and population properties provide independent information
    • Will allow full-sky investigation of large-scale structural properties of Milky Way
