Journal Guide

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.

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.

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

The journal Asymptotic Analysis fulfills a twofold function. It aims at publishing original mathematical results in the asymptotic theory of problems affected by the presence of small or large parameters on the one hand, and at giving specific indications of their possible applications to different fields of natural sciences on the other hand. Asymptotic Analysis thus provides mathematicians with a concentrated source of newly acquired information which they may need in the analysis of asymptotic problems.
