It’s Saturday morning again so it’s time for an update of papers published at the Open Journal of Astrophysics. Things have picked up a bit after a quiet couple of weeks. Since the last update we have published four new papers which brings the number in Volume 8 (2025) up to 18 and the total so far published by OJAp up to 253.

In chronological order of publication, the four papers published this week, with their overlays, are as follows. You can click on the images of the overlays to make them larger should you wish to do so.

The first paper to report is in fact our 250th paper:  “Untangling Magellanic Streams” by Dennis Zaritsky (Steward Observatory), Vedant Chandra (Harvard), Charlie Conroy (Harvard), Ana Bonaca (Carnegie Observatories), Phillip A. Cargile (Harvard), and Rohan P. Naidu (MIT), all based in the USA. This paper is in the folder marked Astrophysics of Galaxies and it reports on spectroscopic study aimed at teasing out the stellar populations of different strands of the Magellanic Stream. It was published on Tuesday 18th February 2025. Here is the overlay:

The second paper of the week  is “Compressed ‘CMB-lite’ Likelihoods Using Automatic Differentiation” by Lennart Balkenhol (Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris, France) which was one of two papers published on Wednesday 19th February. It appears in the folder Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics and it describes an implementation of the CMB-lite framework relying on automatic differentiation to reduce the computational cost of the lite likelihood construction.  The overlay is here:

Four New Publications at the Open Journal of Astrophysics

It’s Saturday morning once again so here’s another quick update of activity at the Open Journal of Astrophysics. Since the last update a week ago we have published  four papers, which takes the count in Volume 7 (2024) up to 114 and the total published altogether by OJAp up to 229. If we publish just one more paper between now and the end of the year, we will have published as many papers in 2024 as we have in all previous years.

Anyway, in chronological order of publication, the four papers published this week, with their overlays, are as follows. You can click on the images of the overlays to make them larger should you wish to do so.

First one up is “Star formation beyond galaxies: widespread in-situ formation of intra-cluster stars” by Niusha Ahvazi & Laura V. Sales (UC Riverside, USA), Julio F. Navarro (U. Victoria, Canada), Andrew Benson (Carnegie Obs. USA), Alessandro Boselli (Aix Marseille U., France) and Richard D’Souza (Vatican Obs.). The paper, which is in the folder marked Astrophysics of Galaxies, The paper presents a simulation-based analysis of a diffuse star forming component in galaxy clusters extending for hundreds of kiloparsecs and tracing the distribution of neutral gas in the cluster host halo.

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

The second paper to announce, published on 10th December 2024 in the folder Cosmology and NonGalactic Astrophysics, is “Cosmological Constraints from Combining Photometric Galaxy Surveys and Gravitational Wave Observatories” by E.L. Gagnon, D. Anbajagane, J. Prat, C. Chang, and J. Frieman (all of U. Chicago, USA).

It presents discussion, based on the β Pictoris system, of the idea that the presence of exomoons can excite misalignment between the spin and orbit axis (obliquity) in exoplanet systems

Here is the overlay

The final version accepted on arXiv is here.

Last of this quartet, published on 11th December 2024, and in the folder Cosmology and NonGalactic Astrophysics is “Map-level baryonification: Efficient modelling of higher-order correlations in the weak lensing and thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich fields” and is by Dhayaa Anbajagane & Shivam Pandey (U.

You can find the official accepted version on the arXiv here.

That’s all for this week. I’ll do another update next Saturday, and that will probably be the last one of the year. If we publish just one more paper between now and 31st December, we will have published as many papers in 2024 as we have in all previous years put together!

Four New Publications at the Open Journal of Astrophysics

Posted in OJAp Papers, Open Access, The Universe and Stuff with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on December 7, 2024 by telescoper

It’s Satuday morning once again so here’s another quick update of activity at the Open Journal of Astrophysics. Since the last update a week ago we have published  four papers, which takes the count in Volume 7 (2024) up to 110 and the total published altogether by OJAp up to 225.

In chronological order of publication, the four papers published this week, with their overlays, are as follows. You can click on the images of the overlays to make them larger should you wish to do so.

First one up is “The impact of feedback on the evolution of gas density profiles from galaxies to clusters: a universal fitting formula from the Simba suite of simulations” by Daniele Sorini & Sownak Bose (Durham University, UK), Romeel Davé (University of Edinburgh, UK), and Daniel Anglés-Alcázar (University of Connecticut, USA). The paper, which is in the folder marked Astrophysics of Galaxies, presents a study of the effects of stellar and/or AGN feedback on the shape and evolution of gas density profiles in galaxy haloes using the SIMBA simulations. It was published on Tuesday 3rd December 2024.

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

 

You can find the officially accepted version of the paper on the arXiv here.

The second paper to announce, also published on 3rd December 2024, and is also the folder “Astrophysics of Galaxies, is “Self-regulated growth of galaxy sizes along the star-forming main sequence” by Shweta Jain (U. Kentucky, USA), Sandro Tacchella (U. Cambridge, UK) and Moein Mosleh (Shiraz University, Iran).  This paper suggestes an identification of a possible self-regulating mechanism in galaxy size growth involving the interplay between feedback from star formation and newly accreted gas.

You can see the overlay here:

 

The accepted version of this paper can be found on the arXiv here.

The third paper, published on Thursday 6th December 2024 in the folder marked Cosmology and NonGalactic Astrophysics, is called  “BLAST: Beyond Limber Angular power Spectra Toolkit. A fast and efficient algorithm for 3×2 pt analysis” by Sofia Chiarenza, Marco Bonici & Will Percival (Waterloo, Canada) and Martin White (Berkeley, USA). It presents BLAST, an efficient algorithm for calculating angular power spectra without employing the Limber approximation or assuming a scale-dependent growth rate, based on the use of Chebyshev polynomials. The code is written in Julia.

Here is the overlay

 

 

The final version accepted on arXiv is here.

Last in this batch, published on 6th December 2024, and in the folder Astrophysics of Galaxies, is “On the universality of star formation efficiency in galaxies” by Ava Polzin & Andrey V. Kravtsov (U. Chicago) and Vadim A. Semenov & Nickolay Y. Gnedin (CfA Harvard), all based in the USA. The paper presents an argument that the universality of observational estimates of star formation efficiency per free-fall time can be plausibly explained by the turbulence-driven and feedback-regulated properties of star-forming regions.

You can find the official accepted version on the arXiv here.

We seem to have recovered from a small Thanksgiving lull and, looking at the OJAp workflow, I think we’ll have a similar number of publications next week. I’ll do another update next weekend!
