Special edition of PASP on astronomy data visualisation

Chock full of fun stuff.

Astrophysics continues to be a leader in the data sciences, with innovative methods being developed to handle new analysis challenges. The higher rates of data acquisition in both observational and theoretical astrophysics demand innovative solutions in scientific visualization. The Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (PASP) has published a special focus issue titled Techniques and Methods for Astrophysical Data Visualization. Refereed submissions for this issue cover a wide variety of visualization topics, including new software packages, visualization techniques, software from other industries, and new science results. These methods and techniques can serve as a complement to data analysis software, stand on their own for data exploration, or inspire with impressive visuals for science, technology, education, mathematics (STEM) and public outreach. A number of articles from our special focus issue feature videos and tutorials as well as interactive 3D content.
