In the Dark

In the summer of 2021 we published a paper in the Open Journal of Astrophysics entitled A Differentiable Model of the Assembly of Individual and Populations of Dark Matter Halos. The authors are Andrew P. Hearin,  Jonás Chaves-Montero, Matthew R. Becker and Alex Alarcon, all of the Argonne National Laboratory.

Here is a screen grab of the overlay which includes the abstract:

One of the authors contacted me recently to ask if it would be possible to make some minor textual modifications to the version we already published. After discussing this with the Editorial Board we agreed on the following steps:

1. The author sent us a new version containing the proposed revisions;
2. The Editor checked that they were reasonable (i.e. minor and without any significant changes to the scientific content);
3. After getting the green light the author placed a revised version on arXiv with a comment explanation the revisions (in this case v3);
4. We changed our overlay to point at the new version.

The way we are set up no further action was necessary. I think this is a nice demonstration of the flexibility of an overlay journal!
