Time to announce yet another new paper at the Open Journal of Astrophysics. This one was actually published on Friday (6th October 2023), but for one reason and another I’ve only just got around to announcing it here.

The latest paper is the 38th  so far in Volume 6 (2023) and the 103rd in all. The authors are: Matthew Price, Matthijs Mars, Matthew Docherty, Alessio Spurio Mancini, Augustin Marignier and Jason McEwen – all affiliated with University College London, UK.

The primary classification for this paper is Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics and its title is “Fast emulation of anisotropies induced in the cosmic microwave background by cosmic strings”. It describes a  generative technique for producing generating cosmic microwave background temperature maps using wavelet phase harmonics. For an explanation of what a cosmic string is, see here. If you don’t know the difference between “emulation” and “simulation”, I refer you to the text!
