The Astrophysical Journal is the foremost
research journal devoted to recent developments, discoveries, and
theories in
astronomy and
astrophysics.
Many of the classic discoveries of the
20th century have first been reported in the Journal, which has also presented much of the important recent work on
quasars,
pulsars,
neutron stars,
black holes, solar and stellar
magnetic fields,
X-rays, and
interstellar matter.
The journal was founded in
1895 by
George E. Hale[?] and
James E. Keeler[?].
Since
1953 The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series has been published in conjunction with
The Astrophysical Journal, designed to bring substantial, extensive support to the material found in the Journal, the Supplement Series contains many of the most frequently cited papers in astronomical literature.
