Weekly Update from the Open Journal of Astrophysics 13/06/2026

It’s Saturday again so it’s time for another update of activity at the Open Journal of Astrophysics. Since the last update we have published a further three papers, bringing the number in Volume 9 (2026) to 122 and the total so far published by OJAp up to 570.

I will continue to include the posts made on our Mastodon account (on Fediscience); these announcements also show the DOI for each paper.

The first paper to report this week, published on Thursday 11th June, is “Dancing Streams In Merging Halos: Stellar Streams in a MW–LMC-like merger” by (all based in the USA): Sachi Weerasooriya (Carnegie Observatories), Tjitske Starkenburg (Northwestern U.), Emily C. Cunningham (Columbia U.) & Kathryn V. Johnston (Flatiron Institute). This article explores how galaxy mergers, like the Milky Way-Large Magellanic Cloud merger, significantly alter the properties and structures of stellar streams, challenging the recovery of their initial orbits. It is in the folder marked Astrophysics of Galaxies.

The overlay for this paper is here

You can find the officially accepted version on arXiv here and the announcement on Fediverse here:

https://fediscience.org/@OJ_Astro/116730200889106529

The second paper for this week, also published on Thursday 11th June but in the folder Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics is “X-SORTER (X-ray Survey Of meRging clusTErs in Redmapper): X-ray and Spectroscopic Characterization of 12 Optically Selected Galaxy Cluster Merger Candidates” by Christopher Hopp, David Wittman, Rodrigo Stancioli, Zhuoran Gao & Faik Bouhrik (UC Davis) and Scott Adler (Rochester), all based in the USA. The X-SORTER program identifies merging galaxy clusters to study dark matter interactions, using optical indicators and X-ray observations. This method efficiently identifies active clusters suitable for detailed dark matter studies.

The overlay for this one looks like this:

The official version of the paper can be found on arXiv here and the Fediverse announcement here:

https://fediscience.org/@OJ_Astro/116730279994960097

The third and final paper of the week, published on Friday 12th June in the folder Earth and Planetary Astrophysics, is “JCMT Constraints on the Early-Time HCN and CO Emission and HCN Temporal Evolution of 3I/ATLAS” by Jason T. Hinkle (U. Illinois, USA) and 6 others based in the USA and Chile. This article presents observations of the third Interstellar Object, 3I/ATLAS, providing early sub-mm constraints on its activity. The findings suggest a steeper production rate slope than typical Solar System comets.

The overlay for this one is here:

The final, accepted version can be found on arXiv here and the Mastodon announcement is here:

https://fediscience.org/@OJ_Astro/116735805179724489

And that concludes this week’s update. It has been a slow week on the publishing front, but the main reason is that we have a big backlog of papers accepted but waiting for the authors to put their final versions on arXiv and we can’t do anything about that! I’ll do another update next Saturday.

This event marks the simultaneous observation of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS by Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) instruments aboard ESA's Juice and NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft. The informally coordinated effort successfully captured the comet's ultraviolet emissions, gas breakdown, and scattered dust from both hemispheres.

Moons orbiting free-floating planets can maintain liquid water oceans and potentially support complex life for billions of years without a parent star, utilizing dense hydrogen atmospheres and tidal heating.

Melanie Schnell: From FLASH to the Stars - Photochemistry of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Heute ein faszinierender Blick „von FLASH bis zu den Sternen“: Melanie Schnell zeigt, wie wir mit modernen Laser- und Röntgenquellen die Photochemie polyzyklischer aromatischer Kohlenwasserstoffe (PAHs) untersuchen.

Diese komplexen Kohlenstoffringe finden sich nicht nur in Flammen und unserer Atmosphäre, sondern auch im interstellaren Medium – überall in der Galaxie. Überraschend: Rund 10–20 % des gesamten galaktischen Kohlenstoffs steckt in PAH-Molekülen!

Mit präzisen Labormethoden lassen sich ihre Strukturen und Reaktionen entschlüsseln – ein wichtiger Schritt, um besser zu verstehen, wie sich Moleküle im Weltraum bilden, verändern und vielleicht sogar Bausteine des Lebens hervorbringen. ✨🌌
