Call for Editors at the Open Journal ofΒ Astrophysics
The number of papers submitted to the Open Journal of Astrophysics continues to rise, as demonstrated by this nice graphic which shows the stats for new submissions for the last five years: It's very clear that the thicket is getting thicker!β¦

Here's an interesting review of astrophysics papers on arXiv, including pertinent comments on the absurdity of the publishing system and this mention of @ojastro.bsky.social
arxiv.org/abs/2602.12303
Screenshot from the frontpage of the Open Journal of Astrophysics, featuring the following article informations. Title reads "Revisiting the Great Attractor: The Local Group's streamline trajectory, cosmic velocity and dynamical fate". Authors list: Richard Stiskalek, Harry Desmond, Stuart McAlpine, Guilhem Lavaux, Jens Jasche, Michael J. Hudson. Summary reads "The study revisits the Great Attractor concept, finding that it doesn't dominate the Local Group's cosmic velocity; multiple structures contribute to the motion, with no single attractor accounting for it". Dated February 17, 2026. Background image featuring an allsky map of the depth of the inferred Classical Great Attractor basin as a function of sky position in Galactic coordinates.
Great paper on the Great Attractor, just published by The Open Journal of Astrophysics

Our paper where we test how reliably one can recover galaxy properties using nebular emission lines at high-z due to star-dust geometry and variation in the underlying stellar populations is now published in the OJAp. All the scripts and data to reproduce the results are on GitHub. Do have a read!
