Which is the best day of the week to submit to arXiv:astro-ph?
Chirag Sharma, Shantanu Desai
We examine whether the citations received by refereed astronomy papers vary systematically with the day of the week of their arXiv preprint release. We use NASA ADS citation data f…
Probing dipole and quadrupole anisotropy in Gamma-ray bursts from Swift dataset
Vedant Mokal, Shantanu Desai
Testing the validity of the cosmological principle's assumption of large-scale isotropy remains crucial for modern cosmology. We investigate the angular distributions of gamma-ray…
Impact of CMB low- EE polarization data on dark energy parameterizations
Shubham Barua, Shantanu Desai
Measurement of the optical depth to reionization () is largely driven by the large-scale EE polarization data of CMB (). Removing the low- EE data p…
Determination of the best dark matter profile for the Milky Way with Gaia DR3 using Bayesian Model Comparison
Aryan Singh, Shantanu Desai
We carry out a Bayesian model comparison analysis to determine the dark matter model that best describes the Milky Way rotation curve, using four recent compilations of rotation-cu…
How stable are the impact factors of major astrophysics journals
Rayani Venkat Sai Rithvik, Shantanu Desai
We examine the long-term trends in impact factor over the past decade (2015-2014) for seven flagship journals widely used in Astrophysics: ApJ, AJ, ApJL, ApJS,A &A, JCAP, and MNRAS…
A meta-analysis of impact factors of astrophysics journals
Rayani Venkat Sai Rithvik, Shantanu Desai
We calculate the 2024 impact factors for the 38 most widely used journals in Astrophysics, using the citations collated by NASA/ADS (Astrophysics Data System) and compare them to t…
