Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The actual breakthrough discoveries in high-energy astrophysics represented by the direct detection of gravitational waves and images of matter moving around a black hole led to significant developments in relativistic astrophysics. Indeed, new methodologies to investigate the physics and symmetries of standard (black holes and neutron stars) and exotic (wormholes, boson stars, etc.) compact objects have been and are still being proposed due to present and near-future sensitive data to be benchmarked with the outcomes from theoretical models.
This Special Issue aims to gather original observational and theoretical strategies in relativistic astrophysics with the goal to increase our knowledge around the physics of standard and exotic compact objects. An important issue is also represented by the symmetries imposed on the mathematical solutions to describe the aforementioned astrophysical objects. We cordially invite researchers to contribute their original and high-quality research papers which will inspire advances in observational and theoretical relativistic astrophysics. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Symmetry in compact objects
- Ray-tracing techniques and images
- Shadow of a compact object
- Accretion disk dynamics
- Quasi-periodic oscillations
- Analytical methods and results
- Numerical relativity
- Observational data analysis
- Gravitational waves
- Quasi-normal modes
- Radiation processes
- Magnetic fields

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
