Astronomy and Astrophysics Review

The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review welcomes a new Editorial Board, established in July 2005. The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review publishes invited reviews by leading experts in their field from all over the world. We cover topics from - All areas of astronomy and astrophysics - Cosmic ray physics - Studies in the solar system - Astrobiology - Developments in laboratory or particle physics directly relevant to astronomy - Instrumentation - Computational or statistical methods with specific astronomical applications - Other subjects relevant to astronomy and astrophysics. It is intended that all important fields be reviewed from time to time, whereby the frequency of review will be dependent on the amount of activity in the different areas. The journal emphasizes review articles that are not only of the highest quality in their scientific content, but also have a good readability. They thereby provide an excellent starting point for scientists or students seeking access to a new or unfamiliar field as well as for researchers and lecturers in need of authoritative material in fields with which they are less familiar.
