Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to discuss all key points in stellar astrophysics, from the evolution of stars and planetary systems, the formation of some of the most extreme objects, such as neutron stars and black holes, to the history of the formation of the first-generation stars in the early universe. Understanding these processes holds the key to link stellar astrophysics to many other branches in astronomy and astrophysics, from cosmology to planetology. In this Special Issue, which naturally follows the first Special Issue on this subject, we will focus on the role of stellar astrophysics in the global framework of modern astronomy, review the main achievements in stellar astrophysics, and outline the aims and strategies for future developments in this crucial field using the current tools, such as Gaia, and future methods, such as the upcoming generation of extra large telescopes.This Special Issue will cover a number of subjects, which are as follows:
- The life cycle of stars;
- Brown dwarfs and hot Jupiters;
- Endpoints of stellar evolution;
- Evolution of stars in binary systems;
- Planetary systems in the galaxy;
- Stellar explosions, novae and supernovae, and stellar winds;
- Stellar magnetic fields;
- Black holes and neutron Ssars;
- Star formation across cosmic time;
- Stellar dynamics and the galactic structure;
- Mapping the galactic stellar populations with Gaia;
- Star formation in starburst galaxies;
- Stellar associations—open clusters and globular clusters;
- Observational facilities and techniques;
- Multi-wavelength synergies;
- Stellar astrophysics with future facilities;
- Gravitational waves from compact stellar systems.

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. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
