A book titled MCMC in astronomy will be a best seller. There are, in addition, very interesting non MCMC preprints.

  • [astro-ph:0803.2130] R. Aurich
       A spatial correlation analysis for a toroidal universe (MCMC)

  • [astro-ph:0803.2120]M. Martinez & M. Errando
       A new method to study energy-dependent arrival delays on photons from astrophysical sources (Likelihood function and goodness-of-fit)

  • [astro-ph:0803.2234] G. Dobler et.al.
       Lensing Probabilities for Spectroscopically Selected Galaxy-Galaxy Strong Lenses (could it be helpful to lay out GREAT08 challenges statistically?)

  • [astro-ph:0803.2529] M. Bazot, S. Bourguignon and J. Christensen-Dalsgaard
       Estimation of stellar parameters using Monte Carlo Markov Chains (MCMC)

  • [stat.AP:0803.2623] F. Dup\’e, J. Fadili, and J. L. Starck
       A proximal iteration for deconvolving Poisson noisy images using sparse representations

I’m used to see Markov Chain Monte Carlo (or lower case c in Chain) from statistical journals but in astronomical journals, Monte Carlo Markov Chains seem to be standard.
