Dear Colleagues,

In modern science, special interest in the research of solar-influenced extreme events in the atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere, and space-weather-related interactions, has arisen. The scope of this Special Issue is to address these topics as a multidisciplinary field of research, important in diversified areas of physics such as plasma physics, atomic physics, meteorology, stellar and astroparticle physics. We welcome new research insights, both theoretical and observational, related to the magnetosphere and ionosphere, radiative transfer and the influence of space weather climate on the biosphere.

Therefore, this Special Issue will also address high-priority questions in an increasingly technological world, such as possible predictions of the extent of intense solar radiation effects on the Earth, its environment and human activities. We encourage contributions dealing with a multi-instrumental approach and integrated multi-variate data analysis to study this impact, its consequences and possible forecasting.

This Special Issue welcomes contributions on the following topics:

• Stellar atmosphere;
• Stellar spectroscopy;
• Space environment forecasting models;
• Space weather effects;
• X-ray emission and absorption;
• Magnetospheric studies and irregularities;
• Ionospheric studies and irregularities;
• Wave–particle interaction related to the ionosphere;
• Atmosphere spectral properties;
• Mapping and monitoring atmosphere;
• Radiative transfer;
• Multi-wavelength observations;
• Data analysis;
• Data-driven models;
• A&M databases;
• Astroinformatics.

While we expect many contributions from participants of the “V Meeting on Astrophysical Spectroscopy - A&M DATA: Astronomy & Earth Observations”, planned to be organized from September 12 to 15, 2023 at Palić, Serbia (http://asspectro2023.ipb.ac.rs), we also welcome original and high-quality relevant manuscripts from all scientists working on the above-mentioned topics.  

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
