Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Astronomy and astrophysics have a longstanding tradition in the Netherlands. Today, a very broad range of topics in modern astronomy are studied, ranging from the evolution of the large-scale structure of the universe down to molecular processes occurring on the surface of grains of ices in the interstellar medium. Researchers in the Netherlands are also at the forefront of the new era of gravitational wave astronomy with their active involvement in LIGO, and the new generation of gravitational-wave observatories such as LISA and the Einstein Telescope. This Special Issue aims to highlight this diversity in research that has led to major contributions in many astronomy fields.

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.
