Advances in the Physics of Stars - in Memory of Prof. Yuri N. Gnedin

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will collect articles devoted to all aspects of the physics of stars and galaxies, including an investigation of their types, properties, stages of evolution, and distribution in the Universe. It is devoted to the memory of outstanding scientist Prof. Dr. Yuri N. Gnedin who not only organized the Department of Astrophysics at Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences and led it for several decades, but also initiated a number of prospective research projects in several other astrophysical institutions. The scope of scientific interests and expertise of Prof. Gnedin were extraordinarily wide. He produced pioneering works in the theoretical description of polarized radiation transfer, generation of high-energy radiation in tight binary star systems and galactic nuclei, cyclotron lines in spectra of accreting neutron stars, determination of magnetic fields of cosmic sources from polarimetric observations, physics of intermediate-mass and supermassive black holes and magnetic white dwarfs, supernovae, exoplanets and dark satellites of stars, cosmic gamma-ray bursts, dark matter and dark energy. Both observational and theoretical aspects of the above and some other subjects will be covered in this Special Issue, which will contain research as well as review articles.
