  2. Weekly Update from the Open Journal of Astrophysics – 18/04/2026

    It is Saturday morning, and therefore time for yet another update of activity at the Open Journal of Astrophysics. Since the last update we have published a further six papers, bringing the number in Volume 9 (2026) to 82 and the total so far published by OJAp up to 530.

    I will continue to include the posts made on our Mastodon account (on Fediscience) to encourage you to visit it. Mastodon is a really excellent service, and a more than adequate replacement for X/Twitter (which nobody should be using); these announcements also show the DOI for each paper.

    The first paper to report this week is “Beyond Spherical geometry: Unraveling complex features of objects orbiting around stars from its transit light curve using deep learning” by Ushasi Bhowmick & Shivam Kumaran (Indian Space Research Institute, Ahmedabad, India). This study uses deep neural networks to predict the shape of objects orbiting stars based on their transit light curves, demonstrating the potential to extract geometric information from these systems. It was published on Monday 13th April in the folder Earth and Planetary Astrophysics and the overlay can be seen here:

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

    https://fediscience.org/@OJ_Astro/116395992732332356

    The second paper for this week, also published on Monday 13th April Apil in the folder but in the folder Astrophysics of Galaxies, is “statmorph-lsst: Quantifying and correcting morphological biases in galaxy surveys” by Elizaveta Sazonova (U. Waterloo, Canada) and an international cast of 18 others. This paper presents an investigation of potential biases in quantitative morphology metrics used in galaxy evolution studies, proposing two new measurements to resolve biases, and provides a related Python package (statmorph-lsst), which can be found here on github.

    Next one up, the third paper of the week, one of four published on Friday 17th April, is “Disentangling the galactic and intergalactic components in 313 observed Lyman-alpha line profiles between redshift 0 and 5” by Siddhartha Gurung-López (Universitat de València, Spain) and 7 others based in Spain and Germany. Published in the folder Astrophysics of Galaxies, this paper uses the zELDA package to analyze Lyman-alpha photons from star-forming galaxies, revealing IGM effects dominate Lyman-alpha observability at high redshifts, while galactic outflows become more important at lower z.

    https://fediscience.org/@OJ_Astro/116418831864134501

    The fourth paper this week, also published on Friday 17th April is “Using Symbolic Regression to Emulate the Radial Fourier Transform of the Sérsic Profile for Fast, Accurate and Differentiable Galaxy Profile Fitting” by Tim B. Miller (Northwestern University, USA) and Imad Pasha (Yale University, USA). This one is published in the folder Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics: it develops an emulator for galaxy profile fitting in Fourier space, improving speed by 2.5 times with minimal accuracy loss, aiding in managing increasing data flow.

    The finally accepted version of this paper can be found here and the Mastodon announcement follows:

    https://fediscience.org/@OJ_Astro/116418855010158656

    The fifth paper for this week is “The THESAN project: Lyman-alpha emitters as probes of ionized bubble sizes” by Meredith Neyer (MIT, USA) and 6 others based in the USA, Colombia, Canada, Japan and UK. The study uses THESAN simulations to explore how Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) trace ionized bubble sizes during the Epoch of Reionization, providing a framework for interpreting LAE surveys. This was published on Friday 17th April in the folder Astrophysics of Galaxies.

    The sixth and final paper for this week is “Closed-Form Statistical Relations Between Projected Separation, Semimajor Axis, Companion Mass, and Host Acceleration” by Timothy D Brandt (Space Telescope Science Institute, USA). This was published on Friday 17th April in the folder Solar and Stellar Astrophysics. In this paper the author derives statistical relationships between radial velocity, a companion’s mass, and projected separation, useful for calculations requiring derivatives. The results are verified with empirical comparisons to existing literature.

  8. Scientists have discovered what ionized the universe billions of years ago. It was not the first stars, as previously thought, but the first black holes. The discovery sheds new light on the early history of the cosmos and the role of black holes in it.

  9. Paper: Planetary Thermal Imbalance & Extreme UV Levels in Summer

    D.L. Jones [Geophysics] Cairo University Giza, Egypt, 2 June 2012

    "Krypton-85 and other ionizing isotope contamination in the upper atmosphere has changed the upper atmosphere dynamics, and is creating extreme seasonal Northern Hemisphere UV and weather events. There are ~1000 nuclear reactors around the world. This includes nuclear power plants, research and military reactors. All these reactors release krypton-85 as part of their normal normal operations. The #Fukushima nuclear disaster released enormous amounts of krypton-85. Krypton-85 releases change the atmospheric electric conductivity, ion current, and the Earth's magnetic field! More evidence to support my view that the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster has damaged the upper atmosphere, caused ozone damage, and created significant weather changes."

  10. Yes, I wrote a research paper and did an in-class presentation for a Geography class about how humans were altering the ionosphere with Krypton-85. I got an "A" on the paper, especially for my excellent citations. I don't post anti-nuclear information just for the sake of "fear mongering" -- I post it to make folks aware of the true costs of #nuclear power. So yeah, I have actually read the studies cited -- and summarized the research.

    Klimarisiken durch radioaktives Krypton-85 aus der Kernspaltung. Luftelektrische und luftchemische Wirkungen ionisierender Strahlung in der Atmosphaere

    Kollert, R., 1994

    Abstract: [en] The study shows that krypton-85 from nuclear fission enhances air ionization and, thus, interferes with the atmospheric-electrical system and the water balance of the earth atmosphere. This is reason for concern: There are unforeseeable effects for weather and climate if the krypton-85 content of the earth atmosphere continues to rise. There may be a krypton-specific #greenhouse effect and a collapse of the natural atmospheric-electrical field. In addition, human well-being may be expected to be impaired as a result of the diminished atmospheric-electrical field. There is also the risk of radiochemical actions and effects caused-by krypton-85-containing plumes in other air-borne pollutants like the latters' transformation to aggressive oxidants. This implies radiation smog and more acid rain in the countries exposed. This study summarizes findings gained in these issues by various sciences, analyses them and elaborates hypotheses on the actions and effects of krypton-85 on the air, the atmosphere and the climate

    Abstract
    [en] Krypton-85 is a radioactive inert gas produced during normal operations of the #nuclear fuel cycle. The quantities of krypton-85, that will be produced in the next century, are sufficient, if released, to alter the electrical state of the atmosphere. The principal hypothesis is that an anthropogenic alteration of the electric state of the atmosphere could alter other #meterological phenomena and lead to significant #environmental impacts."

  13. Geophysical problems of krypton-85 in the atmosphere
    Styro, B.I.; Butkus, D.V.,1988

    Abstract:
    The circulation of the inert gas krypton-85, penetrating into or generating in the atmosphere as a result of natural as well as artificial processes (operation of the nuclear fuel cycle industry) has been studied Krypton-85 is abundant in the Earth atmosphere and penetrates into its geospheres: hydro-, litho- and biosphere. Due to the development of the #nuclear power industry krypton-85 accumulates continuously in the air what causes the surface and especially near water atmosphere #ionization increase. While the increase of the krypton-85 concentration there will not effect the biological world of Earth and man, it may start influence the geophysical processes, taking place in the atmosphere, that will lead to the #precipitation redistribution, the Earth planetary electric charge decrease, the changes of the Earth magnetic field, etc. This proves the necessity of the non-living nature dosimetry
