Founded in 1821 by H. C. Schumacher, Astronomische Nachrichten -Astronomical Notes is the oldest astronomical journal in the world. Famous astronomical discoveries and important papers on astronomy and astrophysics published in more than 300 volumes of the journal give an outstanding representation of the progress of astronomical research over the last 180 years. Today Astronomische Nachrichten -Astronomical Notes publishes articles in the fields of observational and theoretical astrophysics and related topics in geophysics and solar physics, while also covering astronomical instrumentation as well as numerical astrophysical techniques and supercomputer modeling. ISSN: 0004-6337 (print), 1521-3994 (online) Volume 331. 10 Issues in 2010.
To cover the cost of Open Access publishing, Astronomical Review charges an article publishing charge for all accepted articles. The article publishing charge for Astronomical Review is $750.
Subjects Covered
Astronomy & Astrophysics is an international Journal which publishes papers on all aspects of astronomy and astrophysics (theoretical, observational, and instrumental) independently of the techniques used to obtain the results.The journal is published by EDP Sciences. A paper edition is produced as well as a parallel electronic (on-line) edition.Institutions and private individuals can subscribe to A&A.Access to the on-line version of the journal is defined by IP number. Access is free to subscribers of the journal. A username and password are not required.Part of the material accepted for publication will be published only in electronic form. This holds, in general, for larger appendices, large amounts of similar figures, large tables, and the like. That material is, however, an integral part of the on-line publication and is included in each electronic download.An archive of the on-line edition and of the tabular material only published in electronic form is maintained by the Centre des Données Stellaires (CDS) in Strasbourg.Astronomy & Astrophysics is a journal established through the amalgamation of various national journals. New Member-Countries can be admitted upon fulfilling certain criteria.The journal is governed by the Board of Directors, whose members are designated by the Member Countries. The Board decides on the policies for A&A which include the general guidelines for publishing, the selection of the Editors, the various financial aspects, as well as the membership of countries. .
Astronomy Letters (Pis’ma v Astronomicheskii Zhurnal) traditionally publishes the results of original research in all branches of modern astronomy and astrophysics including high energy astrophysics, cosmology, space astronomy, theoretical astrophysics, radioastronomy, extra galactic astronomy, stellar astronomy, and investigation of the Solar system.
Astronomy Reports (Astronomicheskii Zhurnal), founded in 1924, is the most prominent astronomy journal in the former Soviet Union. It is also widely known and cited abroad. The journal publishes original papers on astronomical topics, including theoretical and observational astrophysics, physics of the Sun, planetary astrophysics, radioastronomy, stellar astronomy, celestial mechanics, and astronomy methods and instrumentation. It also publishes chronicles, proceedings of international conferences, and book reviews.
Astronomy and Computing focuses on the broad area between astronomy, computer science and information technology. The journal aims to publish the work of scientists and (software) engineers in all aspects of astronomical computing, including the collection, analysis, reduction, visualisation, preservation and dissemination of data, and the development of astronomical software and simulations. The journal covers applications for academic computer science techniques to astronomy, as well as novel applications of information technologies within astronomy.The journal is open to a broad range of contributions about the use of computing used in astronomy. It accepts regular scientific articles and review articles, but will also consider manuscripts on new software and data releases of astronomical surveys, and "reports on practice" which describe the outcomes (positive and negative) of the practical application of informatics techniques within astronomy research and operations. In general, manuscripts should make a valuable contribution to the field and should display an appropriate familiarity with previous work in the area and alternative approaches to the same problem. Providing a sustainable link to data or source code is strongly encouraged. All manuscripts are subject to peer-review.The journal welcomes contributions on a variety of topics including:Scientific software engineeringComputational infrastructureComputational techniques used for astrophysical simulationsVisualizationData management, archives, and virtual observatoryData analysis, data mining and statisticsData processing pipeline and automated systemsSemantics, data citation and data preservationWhy publish in Astronomy and Computing
Astronomy and Geophysics (A&G) seeks to publish concise reviews of recent scientific progress, written by active researchers and those involved in the development of the field. We are looking for overviews of cutting-edge research that enable astronomers and geophysicists to keep up with developments in different fields. Potential authors should contact the Editor (s.bowler@leeds.ac.uk). We also seek short news items, topical and relevant to the interests of professional astronomers and geophysicists, letters on matters of interest to the community, and brief reports from meetings. Obituaries of distinguished fellows of the RAS and others are published in A&G; the RAS Council selects subjects and authors.
Astroparticle Physics publishes experimental and theoretical research papers in the interacting fields of Cosmic Ray Physics, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Cosmology and Particle Physics focusing on new developments in the following areas:• High-energy cosmic-ray physics and astrophysics;• Particle cosmology;• Particle astrophysics;• Related astrophysics: supernova, AGN, cosmic abundances, dark matter etc.;• High-energy, VHE and UHE gamma-ray astronomy;• High- and low-energy neutrino astronomy;• Instrumentation and detector developments related to the above-mentioned fields.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Astrophysical Bulletin presents original and review papers in various fields of modern astrophysics. Topics covered include problems of astrophysical observations of stars and galaxies, cosmology, astrophysical instrumentation. Astrophysical Bulletin traditionally publishes the results of original research in various branches of modern astronomy and astrophysics, including observational and theoretical astrophysics, physics of the Sun, radioastronomy, stellar astronomy, extragalactic astronomy, cosmology, astronomy methods and instrumentation. It also publishes scientific reviews, chronicles, and proceedings of international conferences
Astrophysics presents recent theoretical and experimental advances in this field. The journal contains data obtained at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute and all principal Soviet observatories on planetary atmospheres, interstellar matter, solar physics, and space astrophysics. Additional subjects include chemical composition and internal structure of stars, quasars, and pulsars; stellar and galactic evolution; and developments in modern cosmology. Astrophysics is a translation of the peer-reviewed Russian language journal Astrofizika.
