New Insights into Astronomy and Astrophysics

Dear Colleagues,

With the advancement and enhancement of technology, astronomy has entered an unprecedented era of development. From traditional optical observations to multi-wavelength observations, like radio, X-ray, and gamma-ray, and from star cataloging to astrophysical analysis and cosmological research, today's Astronomy and Astrophysics research has brought immense surprises and significantly contributed to our understanding of nature.

We are honored to invite you to share your insights on the innovations in modern astronomy driven by new scientific technologies. You are encouraged to detail how new technologies have advanced specific astronomical explorations. We also welcome prospective studies on how future technologies might play pivotal roles in the development of astronomy, such as the impact of artificial intelligence on big data processing and the enhancement of numerical simulations by supercomputing power.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Radio astronomy;
• High-energy astronomy;
• Galactic astronomy;
• Stellar astronomy;
• Optical astronomy;
• Numerical simulations in astronomy;
• Astrophysics;
• Cosmology;
• Planetary science.

We look forward to receiving your contributions on the progress in astronomical instruments, technologies, observation methods, and future technological outlooks in these areas.

We look forward to receiving insightful contributions.

Prof. Dr. Chenhui Niu
Guest Editor

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
