Feature Papers in the Astronomical Sciences

Dear Colleagues,

I am delighted to announce the Special Issue entitled “Feature Papers in the Astronomical Sciences” dedicated to provide a distinguished collection of pioneering papers in the whole spectrum of astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology.

This Theme Issue aims to highlight recent advances and new cutting-edge developments across the field of astronomy, by publishing high-quality reviews and original papers from editorial board members, guest editors, leading researchers, and outstanding scholars invited by the Editorial Board and the Editorial Office of Astronomy.

The special issue topics include but are not limited to observational and theoretical astronomy, astrophysics, astroparticle physics, cosmology, as well as on all aspects of gravitational physics.

I hope that this collection will bring new interest in this old field as an attractive node for younger people as well as more experienced researchers who share an interest in this most majestic of all scientific fields. 

Prof. Dr. Spiros Cotsakis
Prof. Dr. Ignatios Antoniadis
