Aims & Scope

ASAS publishes work that advances knowledge of the Universe, the space environment and the instruments and methods used to study them.

Areas of interest

  • Solar physics, heliophysics and space weather
  • Planetary science, small bodies, planetary atmospheres and astrobiology
  • Stellar astronomy, compact objects and exoplanets
  • Galactic and extragalactic astronomy
  • Cosmology, gravitation and high-energy astrophysics
  • Radio, optical, infrared, ultraviolet, X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy
  • Space plasma physics and magnetospheric science
  • Astronomical instrumentation, observatories, missions, surveys and data methods
  • Computational astrophysics, simulations, catalogues and scientific software

A submission should present a clear scientific question, an appropriate method and a result of interest beyond a single unvalidated observation. Routine parameter estimates, unsupported speculation and manuscripts outside astronomy or space science are not suitable.
