Another Saturday, another update of the Open Journal of Astrophysics. Since the last update we have published two more papers, taking the count in Volume 7 (2024) up to 56 and the total published by OJAp up to 171. Both these papers were published on Thursday 11th July 2024.
The first paper of the most recent pair, published on July 3rd 2024, is “Sunyaev-Zeldovich signatures from non-thermal, relativistic electrons using CMB maps” by Sandeep Kumar Acharya of The Open University of Israel, Ra’anana, Israel. This article presents a discussion the possible effects of non-thermal electron energy distributions on the form of Sunyaev-Zeldovich distortions and how they might be measured. The paper is in the folder marked Cosmology and NonGalactic Astrophysics.

The second paper has the title “On the contribution of dwarf galaxies to reionization of the Universe” and is by Zewei Wu and Andrey Kravtsov of the University of Chicago in the USA. This paper, which is in the folder marked Astrophysics of Galaxies, presents a model of galaxy formation that suggests that radiation from very faint galaxies may contribute significantly to the reionization of the Universe.
