Special Issue on Gravitation, Astrophysics and
Cosmology
Gravitation,
Astrophysics and Cosmology is the branch of astronomy that deals with the
physics of the universe, including the physical properties of celestial
objects, as well as their interactions and behavior.Among the objects studied
are galaxies, stars, planets, exoplanets, the interstellar medium and the
cosmic microwave background. Their emissions are examined across all parts of
the electromagnetic spectrum, and the properties examined include luminosity,
density, temperature, and chemical composition. Because astrophysics is a very
broad subject, astrophysicists typically apply many disciplines of physics, including
mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, quantum
mechanics, relativity, nuclear and particle physics, and atomic and molecular
physics. In practice, modern astronomical research involves a substantial
amount of physics. The name of a university's department
("astrophysics" or "astronomy") often has to do more with
the department's history than with the contents of the programs. Astrophysics
can be studied at the bachelors, masters, and Ph.D. levels in aerospace
engineering, physics, or astronomy departments at many universities.
In this special
issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit
original research and review articles on exploring Gravitation, Astrophysics and Cosmology.
Authors should read
