Session Description:

Astrostatistics is an active interdisciplinary field encompassing many areas of statistical science. In recent years the development and deployment of sophisticated statistical methods in astrophysics has led to, for example: identifying new repeating fast radio burst sources, data-driven approaches to modeling stellar activity and evolution, the discovery of rare and unusual galaxy systems, improved uncertainty quantification in large astronomical surveys, and increasingly precise inference on the physical parameters that govern the formation and evolution of the universe.

In this session the finalists of the 2026 Astrostatistics Interest Group Student Paper Competition will present their astrostatistics work, and the competition winner will be announced. (This is the designated ASA Astrostatistics IG session.)
