  1. Weekly Update from the Open Journal of Astrophysics – 06/06/2026

    Another Saturday, another update of activity at the Open Journal of Astrophysics. Since the last update we have published a further five papers, bringing the number in Volume 9 (2026) to 119 and the total so far published by OJAp up to 567.

    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 Tuesday 2nd June, is “The impact of the formation channel on gravitational-wave-galaxy cross-correlations” by Kabir Chakravarti (Chennai Mathematical Institute, India) and Federico R Urban (CEICO-FZU, Czech Republic). This article, published in the folder Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics, explores how uncertainties in binary formation affect the cross-correlation signal between gravitational wave events and galaxy catalogues, finding that time-delay distribution significantly impacts the signal.

    The second paper for this week, also published on Tuesday 2nd June but in the folder High-Energy Astrophysical Phenomena, is “Transient X-ray Sources as Extremely Eccentric Mass-Transfer Binaries with Compact Companions” by Jonathan I Katz and Michael A Nowak (Washington University, St Louis, USA). This article suggests that X-ray transients, similar to tidal disruption events, are produced in eccentric stellar-compact object binaries, with their frequency gradually increasing over time.

    Next one up, the third paper of the week, also published on Tuesday 2nd June in the folder High-Energy Astrophysical Phenomena is “Resolving the (Debate About) Nozzle Shocks in Tidal Disruption Events” by Zachary L. Andalman & Eliot Quataert (Princeton U., USA), Eric R. Coughlin (Syracuse U. USA) and C. J. Nixon (U. Leeds, UK). This paper presents a model to understand the role of nozzle shocks in the circularization of stellar debris during a tidal disruption event when a star approaches a supermassive black hole (SMBH)

    The fourth paper this week, published on Wednesday 3rd June in the folder Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics, is “Validating Digital Twins of the Local Universe with the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Signal” by Richard Stiskalek (University of Oxford, UK) and Harry Desmond (University of Portsmouth, UK). The thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect and constrained simulations are used to analyze the thermal pressure of ionized gas in galaxy clusters and produce a set of digital twins for cosmological study.

    The fifth and final paper this week, published on Thursday 4th June in the folder Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics is “Photon (Non)Conservation in the Reduced Speed of Light Approximation and How to (Almost) Fix It” by Nickolay Y. Gnedin (University of Chicago, USA). The “Reduced Speed of Light” approximation in cosmological simulations can lead to photon non-conservation, and while some missing photons can be counted, adding them back is challenging.

  22. The new LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA catalog sets records in precision gravitational-wave astronomy – Researchers at the @mpi_grav contribute to discoveries in the largest gravitational-wave catalog ever compiled.

    ➡️ aei.mpg.de/1449649/the-new-lig

    The @LIGO Virgo KAGRA collaboration releases the largest gravitational-wave catalog, GWTC-5, with 161 new events, totaling 390 confirmed detections since 2015.

    The catalog contains many astrophysical highlights: the gravitational-wave source with the most precise sky localization, the first measurement of three gravitational-wave tones from a black hole, evidence for the existence of second-generation black holes, and new measurements of how fast the Universe is expanding.
