在用前所未有的實(shí)驗(yàn)設(shè)備和衛(wèi)星進(jìn)行的觀測的推動下，過去幾年在電磁頻譜的高能端帶來了大量的歷史結(jié)果。這些都需要新的理論努力和多頻率的調(diào)查，這將導(dǎo)致一系列新的想法、問題和研究方向。高能天體物理學(xué)是一個(gè)連接天文學(xué)、宇宙學(xué)和粒子物理學(xué)的研究領(lǐng)域，在未來幾十年內(nèi)將繼續(xù)以越來越快的速度擴(kuò)展，此外，實(shí)驗(yàn)探測精度的提高也將推動這一領(lǐng)域的發(fā)展。《高能天體物理學(xué)雜志》（JHEPA）是第一本專注于高能現(xiàn)象研究的天體物理學(xué)雜志。圍繞這一總體主題，并相信天文學(xué)的邊界自然正在消失，JHEPA尋求最具影響力和科學(xué)性的論文，這些論文通常跨越專業(yè)領(lǐng)域，并吸引天文學(xué)家在任何波長的興趣。該雜志歡迎有關(guān)我們銀河系和其他星系中高能天體的理論模型、模擬和觀測的手稿。其中，各種尺度的黑洞、中子星、脈沖星及其星云、雙星、新星和超新星、它們的殘骸、活動星系和星團(tuán)只是幾個(gè)例子。該雜志將考慮對整個(gè)電磁頻譜的研究，以及使用各種信使的研究，如引力波或中微子。高能現(xiàn)象對宇宙學(xué)和恒星形成的影響，擴(kuò)大極端環(huán)境知識的專門調(diào)查結(jié)果，以及暗物質(zhì)的天體物理影響也受到歡迎。期刊采用常用的單盲同行評審制度，評審人姓名匿名，作者或協(xié)作人姓名向評審人公開。此外，該期刊還將介紹在雙盲流程中引用論文的可能性，以確保和提高質(zhì)量。一個(gè)專門的評審員庫、一個(gè)活躍的編輯委員會、一個(gè)快速和可追蹤的在線提交程序以及適當(dāng)?shù)脑u審員激勵(lì)措施將進(jìn)一步確保快速和嚴(yán)格的同行評審過程。JHEAP沒有頁面費(fèi)用，并且有一個(gè)延遲的開放訪問模型。所有顏色數(shù)字免費(fèi)提供在線版本，編輯可自行決定免除印刷顏色數(shù)字的費(fèi)用。jheap將在所有主要系統(tǒng)中建立索引，如scopus和sao/nasa天體物理數(shù)據(jù)系統(tǒng)（ADS）。

Driven by observations conducted with unprecedented experimental facilities and satellites, the last few years have brought a plethora of historic results at the high-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum. These appeal to new theoretical efforts and multi-frequency investigations, which are altogether leading to a burst of new ideas, problems, and research directions.High-energy astrophysics, a research field that connects astronomy, cosmology and particle physics, will continue to expand in the next decades with an increasing rate, additionally boosted by the forthcoming improvements in experimental detection precision.The Journal of High Energy Astrophysics (JHEAp) is the first astrophysical journal that focuses on the study of highly energetic phenomena.Pivoting on this general topic, and in the belief that boundaries in astronomy are naturally fading, JHEAp seeks the most impacting and scientifically sound papers, those generally crossing specialization fields and attracting the interest of astronomers at any wavelength.The journal welcomes manuscripts on theoretical models, simulations, and observations of highly energetic astrophysical objects both in our Galaxy and beyond. Among those, black holes at all scales, neutron stars, pulsars and their nebula, binaries, novae and supernovae, their remnants, active galaxies, and clusters are just a few examples. The journal will consider research across the whole electromagnetic spectrum, as well as research using various messengers, such as gravitational waves or neutrinos. Effects of high-energy phenomena on cosmology and star-formation, results from dedicated surveys expanding the knowledge of extreme environments, and astrophysical implications of dark matter are also welcomed topics.The journal adopts the commonly used single blind peer review system, during which the reviewer names are kept anonymous while the author or collaboration name is disclosed to the reviewers. In addition, the journal will introduce the possibility for papers to be refereed in a double blind process, in order to ensure and promote quality. A dedicated reviewer pool, an active Editorial Board, a fast and traceable online submission procedure, and appropriate reviewer incentives will further ensure a rapid and strict peer reviewing process.JHEAP has no page charges and has a delayed open access model. All color figures are free for the online version and a selection of printed color figures costs may be waived at the Editor's discretion. JHEAp will be indexed in all major systems such as Scopus and the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS).
