Probabilistic association of transients to their hosts (PATH)

Probabilistic association of transients to their hosts (PATH)

We introduce a new method to estimate the probability that an extragalactic transient source is associated with a candidate host galaxy. This approach relies solely on simple observables: sky coordinates and their uncertainties, galaxy fluxes, and angular sizes. The formalism invokes Bayes’ rule to...
