The Astropy Project: Building an inclusive, open-science project and status of the v2.0 core package

Adrian M. Price-Whelan, +135 more
TL;DR: The Astropy project as discussed by the authors is an open-source and openly developed Python packages that provide commonly-needed functionality to the astronomical community, including the core package Astropy, which serves as the foundation for more specialized projects and packages.

The Masses of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies

TL;DR: In this article, a family of robust tracer mass estimators are presented to compute the enclosed mass of galaxy haloes from samples of discrete positional and kinematical data of tracers, such as halo stars, globular clusters and dwarf satellites.

Substructure revealed by RR Lyraes in SDSS Stripe 82

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of the substructure revealed by RR Lyraes in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82, which covers 2°5 in declination on the celestial equator over the right ascension range α = 20 h 7 to 3 h 3.
