Astronomy and Computing

ISSN: 2213-1337

Astronomy and Computing is a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the broad area between astronomy, computer science, software development 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 of 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 in astronomy. It encourages unsolicited submissions of regular scientific articles, of manuscripts on new software releases and data releases of astronomical surveys, and of "reports on practice" which describe the outcomes (positive and negative) of the practical application of informatics techniques within astronomy research and operations. Authors wishing instead to submit review articles, white papers and target articles, as well as ideas for special issues of the journal are expected to first contact members of the Editorial Board.Submissions are expected to cover research topics dealing with computer applications dedicated to astronomy and astrophysics. E.g. manuscripts describing purely computer science or engineering research, or theoretical manuscripts with no connection to computational astrophysics will not be considered for publication.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 (and is required in the case of manuscripts on data or software releases, respectively). All manuscripts are subject to peer-review.

Journal of High Energy Astrophysics

ISSN: 2214-4048

The Journal of High Energy Astrophysics (JHEAP) is the first astrophysical journal that focuses on the study of the most energetic phenomena.Driven by observations conducted with unprecedented experimental facilities and satellites, the last few years have brought a plethora of historic results at the high-energy end of the electromagnetic spectrum, as well as breakthrough, first observations with neutrinos and gravitational waves.This scenario appeal to new theoretical efforts, altogether leading to a burst of new ideas, problems, and research directions.High-ener... astrophysics, a research field that connects astronomy, cosmology, and particle physics, will continue to expand in the next decades, boosted by forthcoming improvements in experimental detection precision.JHEAP seeks scientifically sound papers, and particularly those crossing strict specialization fields, attracting wide interest.The journal welcomes manuscripts on theoretical models, simulations, and observations of energetic astrophysical objects both in our Galaxy and beyond. Among those, black holes at all scales, neutron stars, pulsars and their nebula, magnetars, fast radio bursts, binaries, novae and supernovae, their remnants, active galaxies are just a few examples.The journal will consider research across the whole electromagnetic spectrum, as well as research using various messengers, such as gravitational waves or neutrinos.Effects of high-energy phenomena on cosmology and star-formation, results from dedicated surveys expanding the knowledge of extreme environments, and astrophysical implications of dark matter are also welcomed topics.The journal adopts the commonly used single blind peer review system, during which the reviewer names are kept anonymous while the author or collaboration name is disclosed to the reviewers. In addition, the journal introduces the possibility for papers to be refereed in a double-blind process, in order to ensure and promote quality. A dedicated reviewer pool, an active Editorial Board, a fast and traceable online submission procedure.Starting from October 2023, the journal implements a Letters column, which disseminates timely and impactful results in the field. There is no length limit to the Letters. A speed-up refereeing process (typically in 2 weeks) is reinforced. The authors have an option to choose Letters submission. The scientific editors will check its suitability to the Letters column and decide whether it is sent out for review as a Letter or a regular article.JHEAP has no page charges and has a delayed open access model, meaning that your article will automatically and without extra charge become open access after 12 months.All colour figures are free for the online version and a selection of printed colour figures costs may be waived at the Editor's discretion. JHEAP is indexed in all major systems such as Scopus, Web of Science and SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS).JHEAP only publishes professional, verifiable, and reproducible research and does not welcome articles just expressing personal opinions.

New Astronomy

ISSN: 1384-1076

New Astronomy aims to publish high quality articles in all areas of astronomy, from the solar system through cosmology, and in all wavelengths from radio to gamma-ray. New Astronomy actively encourages the submission of observational, experimental, theoretical, and numerical work, but it does not consider for publication physics papers for which there is no clear pathway for observational tests of the ideas proposed with current or reasonably conceivable future missions, observatories, and experiments. We encourage potential authors to write pre-submission inquiries to the Editor-in-Chief if they are unsure if their work is within the journal?s aims and scope.In addition to articles with original results, New Astronomy accepts regular reviews as well as focus reviews. These last are modest length (typically <20 pages) review articles that cover recent developments within a field, rather than providing comprehensive reviews of the entirety of the field.Proposals for special editions, for example as conference proceedings, sets of papers related to new missions, or on other topics are welcomed.
