With all the excitement of my first weekend in Sydney I completely forgot to post an update from the Open Journal of Astrophysics. In fact there is only one paper to report from last week, being the 12th paper in Volume 7 (2024) and the 127th altogether. This one was published on 9th February 2024 and is the first published from Down Under.
The title is “Galaxy Clusters Discovered via the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect in the 500-square-degree SPTpol Survey” and it presents a catalogue of 689 galaxy clusters detected through the thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich using the dual-frequency polarization-sensitive camera SPTPol on the South Pole Telescope. This one is in the folder called Cosmology and NonGalactic Astrophysics.
This paper has lead author Lindsey Bleem of the Argonne National Laboratory in the USA and has 127 other authors – too many to list individually here – but you can see them on the overlay below. I see quite a few names of people I know well!
Here is the overlay of the paper containing the abstract:

P.S. Incidentally, while I’m here I thought I’d share this little graphic I’ve generated (for other purposes) that shows how the rate of submissions to OJAp has increased over the last 5 years:
