    Clues to Globular Cluster Evolution from Multiwavelength Observations of Extragalactic Systems by A. Kundu, T. J. Maccarone, and S. E. Zepf
    (I’ve been keen on globular clusters, best archeological objects in the universe to understand galaxy formation and the history of the universe. They are like genomes of a galaxy.)
  • [stat.TH:0710.3478]
    Nonparametric estimation of a point-spread function in multivariate problems by P. Hall and P. Qiu

[1]: Personally, point spread function (PSF) plays a major role in extracting astrophysical information from raw observations.

[2]: In addition to this week’s GRB paper, [astro-ph:0710.3099]*, there were some statistical studies about multi-modality in GRBs [see Three classes of GRBs].

I think that (astro)physics provides templates such as likelihoods for a statistical analysis. The statistical disputes between the bimodality and the trimodality of GRB distribution can be settled from 1. more studies like [astro-ph:0710.3099]* or 2. better statistical inference tools or model selections. Unfortunately, 2 requires templates, which are acquired from in-depth cross matching survey studies.
