Abstract
We perform a variation of geometric invariant theory stability analysis for 2nd Hilbert points of bi-log-canonically embedded pointed curves of genus . As a result, we give a GIT construction of the log canonical models for and obtain a VGIT presentation of the second flip in the Hassett–Keel program for the moduli space of pointed genus curves.
