About the Journal
Open access is non-negotiable knowledge about the universe shouldn’t be locked behind paywalls. Authors retain copyright under a CC-BY license, ensuring their work on black hole thermodynamics or dark energy models can be built upon freely.

We prioritize original, paradigm-shifting research, whether it’s a new numerical simulation of galaxy formation, an unexpected twist in exoplanet atmospheric physics, or a bold theoretical framework that challenges ΛCDM. Observational astrophysics, computational modeling, and lab-based experiments (like quantum vacuum studies or neutrino astrophysics) are all welcome.

Scope & Interests

  • Compact Objects: Neutron stars, black holes, white dwarfs, and their violent interactions

  • Cosmology & Early Universe: Inflation, CMB anomalies, dark matter/energy, alternative gravity theories

  • Stellar & Galactic Physics: Star formation, supernovae, AGNs, galactic dynamics

  • High-Energy Astrophysics: Gamma-ray bursts, cosmic rays, relativistic jets, particle acceleration

  • Exoplanets & Astrochemistry: Atmospheres, habitability, protoplanetary disks, biosignatures

  • Instrumentation & Methods: Next-gen telescopes, AI-driven data analysis, gravitational-wave detectors

Peer Review & Ethics

  • Double-blind review by active astrophysicists no bias toward affiliations, only rigor.

  • Fast-tracked decisions for high-impact submissions (e.g., new transient detections or gravitational-wave counterparts).

  • Zero tolerance for plagiarism or data manipulation; we enforce COPE guidelines and require open data/code when feasible.

Why Submit Here?

  • Visibility: Indexed in major databases and promoted through partnerships with observatories.

  • Debate-Friendly: We publish "Challenge Papers" that critique established theories (e.g., modified gravity vs. dark matter).

  • Practical Impact: Tech from astrophysics (like GPU clustering or machine learning for signal detection) gets highlighted for industry crossover.
