In the Dark

It’s time for another update Saturday morning update of activity at the Open Journal of Astrophysics. After the record-breaking stats described in the last update , this week has been on the slow side with just one paper published. This brings the number in Volume 8 (2025) up to 55 and the total so far published by OJAp up to 290.

The paper to report is “Late-time growth weakly affects the significance of high-redshift massive galaxies” by Qianran Xia & Dragan Huterer (U. Michigan, USA) and Nhat-Minh Nguyen (U. Tokyo, Japan). This paper, which was published on Wednesday 7th May 2025,  is published in the folder Cosmology and NonGalactic Astrophysics. It presents an argument that changes in the growth rate of perturbations at low redshift do not have much effect on predictions of the abundance of lassive galaxies at high redshift.

That’s all for now. I’ll do another update next week.
