    The Minimum Description Length Principle and Model Selection in Spectropolarimetry
    It is shown that the two-part minimum description length principle can be used to discriminate among different models that can explain a given observed data set...

    The Minor Role of Gas-Rich Major Mergers in the Rise of Intermediate-Mass Early Types at z <= 1
    We study the evolution of galaxy structure since z ~ 1 to the present. From a Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey South (GOODS-S) multi-band catalog, we...

    The Missing Link? Discovery of Pulsations in the Nitrogen-rich PG 1159 Star PG 1144+005
    Up to 98% of all single stars will eventually become white dwarfs-stars that link the history and future evolution of the Galaxy, and whose previous evolution...

    The Missing Satellites of the Magellanic Clouds? Gaia Proper Motions of the Recently Discovered Ultra-faint Galaxies
    According to LCDM theory, hierarchical evolution occurs on all mass scales, implying that satellites of the Milky Way should also have companions. The recent...
