   Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For the journal, see The Astrophysical Journal NGC 4414 , a typical spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices , is about 56,000 light-years in diameter and approximately 60 million light-years distant. Astrophysics (Greek: Astro - meaning "star", and Greek: physis - meaning "nature") is the branch of astronomy that deals with the physics of the universe , including the physical properties ( luminosity density temperature , and chemical composition) of celestial objects such as galaxies stars planets exoplanets , and the interstellar medium , as well as their interactions. The study of cosmology addresses questions of astrophysics at scales much larger than the size of particular gravitationally-bound objects in the universe. Because astrophysics is a very broad subject, astrophysicists typically apply many disciplines of physics, including mechanics electromagnetism statistical mechanics thermodynamics ... nuclear and particle physics , and atomic and molecular physics . In practice, modern astronomical research involves a substantial amount of physics. The name of a university's department ("astrophysics" or "astronomy") often has to do more with the department's history than with the contents of the programs. Astrophysics can be studied at the bachelors masters , and Ph.D.

The ADS maintains three bibliographic databases containing more than 8.6 million records: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics, and arXiv e-prints. The main body of data in the ADS consists of bibliographic records, which are searchable through highly customizable query forms , and full-text scans of much of the astronomical literature which can be browsed or searched via our full-text search interface. Integrated in its databases, the ADS provides access and pointers to a wealth of external resources, including electronic articles, data catalogs and archives. We currently have links to over 8.6 million records maintained by our collaborators.

3. Astrophysics
   A short introduction to astrophysics with associated articles on a number of topics.  
   http://www.physicsplanet.com/articles/astrophysics
   
   Extractions: Astrophysics is the study of the physics of stars and stellar systems and interstellar materials. The laws of physics are applied to astronomical systems to help us understand how these systems came into being, how they work with the other systems and how they cease. The Laws of Newton give an accurate model for the dynamic system of stars. This is the known as the study of stellar dynamics. Newton�s equation still holds as a good start to model many of the astrophysical systems such as the solar systems, star clusters and galaxies. The reason that Newton�s equation still holds today is due to gravity. Gravity is a long-range force in the universe that has an attraction force in everything in the universe. Gravity was in Newton�s early equation and therefore makes the equation valid for a large amount of astrophysics studies.

The study of cosmology is theoretical astrophysics at its largest scale; conversely, since the energies involved in cosmology, especially the Big Bang , are the largest known, the observations of the cosmos also serve as the laboratory for physics at its smallest scales as well. In practice, virtually all modern astronomical research involves a substantial amount of physics. The name of a school's doctoral program ("Astrophysics" or "Astronomy") in many places like the United States often has to do more with the department's history than with the contents of the programs.

    Extractions: Please visit " Special Events " to learn more. People have gazed at the stars, given them names, and observed their changes for thousands of years. NASA joined the ancient pursuit of knowledge of our universe comparatively recently; nevertheless, in our first half-century of space science we contributed to several major advances in astronomy, including: The International Year of Astronomy has ended, but activities still continue around the world. To learn more, visit: http://www.astronomy2009.org/ Even so, we still have perplexing and important puzzles to solve. To answer these questions, NASA is planning a series of missions linked by powerful new technologies and complementary approaches with shared science goals. In the first few decades of this new century astronomers will greatly advance the study of classical cosmology: the description of the universe on the largest scales and how it works. We will also begin to write the final chapter of the story of galaxies, witnessing the actual birth of these vast collections of stars.
