Astrophysics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of astrophysics published by Springer. Each volume is published every three months. It was founded in 1965 by the Soviet Armenian astrophysicist Viktor Ambartsumian. It is the English version of the journal Astrofizika, published by the Armenian National Academy of Sciences mostly in Russian.[1][2] The current editor-in-chief is Arthur Nikoghossian.[3]
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.
