Axel Johannes Malmquist (1888–1972) was a Swedish astronomer known for his work in astrophysics and optics. He is particularly recognized for the Malmquist bias, a statistical effect in astronomy that can affect the analysis of the distance and brightness of stars in surveys. This bias occurs because more luminous stars are more easily detected at greater distances, which can skew interpretations of star populations and their properties.
