Hi Matt, thanks for sharing. Both of these are awesome. For the d3 stuff,
I wonder if hooking something like mpld3 into yt would enable interactive
plots in ApJ.

Hi folks,
I wanted to write a quick email about some neat things that I heard about at AAS.
The coolest one was that, on the heels of their announcement that software papers (of any length) would be welcome in AAS journals, the AAS is going to be making it possible for some articles to feature updating author lists. These author lists would be tied in to ADS as well. What this would mean is that future software and instrument papers can have authors added to their list, which will be tracked by ADS. I am over the moon about this, as it is by far my most wanted feature for software papers. More information will be coming, and this is not ready yet, but Chris Lintott has been pushing this forward.
The other one, which is also quite cool, is that interactive figures are on their way to AAS journals. What this precisely means and how it will be implemented is still being decided, but Gus Muench has been working toward it; he's said that d3 and plotly type plots will be on the list of things to include, and of course there as the Vogt paper from last year about X3D plots in AAS journals.
