天體物理學(xué)和空間科學(xué)發(fā)表了最初的貢獻(xiàn)，并邀請(qǐng)了涵蓋整個(gè)天文學(xué)、天體物理學(xué)、天體物理宇宙學(xué)、行星和空間科學(xué)以及天體生物學(xué)的天體物理學(xué)方面的評(píng)論。這包括觀測(cè)和理論研究、天文儀器和數(shù)據(jù)分析技術(shù)以及天文空間儀器。我們特別歡迎有關(guān)高能天體物理學(xué)、星際介質(zhì)的天體物理和天體化學(xué)研究的一般領(lǐng)域的論文，包括恒星形成、行星天體物理學(xué)、星系的形成和演化以及宇宙中大規(guī)模結(jié)構(gòu)的演化。數(shù)學(xué)物理或廣義相對(duì)論中的論文，如果不能建立清晰的天體物理應(yīng)用，將不再被考慮。該雜志還出版了在特定科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的專題選刊。這包括邀請(qǐng)?jiān)u論和原始研究論文。會(huì)議程序不予考慮。所有發(fā)表在雜志上的論文都要經(jīng)過徹底而嚴(yán)格的同行評(píng)審。

Astrophysics and Space Science publishes original contributions and invited reviews covering the entire range of astronomy, astrophysics, astrophysical cosmology, planetary and space science and the astrophysical aspects of astrobiology. This includes both observational and theoretical research, the techniques of astronomical instrumentation and data analysis and astronomical space instrumentation. We particularly welcome papers in the general fields of high-energy astrophysics, astrophysical and astrochemical studies of the interstellar medium including star formation, planetary astrophysics, the formation and evolution of galaxies and the evolution of large scale structure in the Universe. Papers in mathematical physics or in general relativity which do not establish clear astrophysical applications will no longer be considered.The journal also publishes topically selected special issues in research fields of particular scientific interest. These consist of both invited reviews and original research papers. Conference proceedings will not be considered. All papers published in the journal are subject to thorough and strict peer-reviewing.
