Overview
Astrophysics and Space Science publishes original contributions and invited reviews covering the entire range of astronomy, astrophysics, astrophysical cosmology, planetary and space science and the astrophysical aspects of astrobiology. This includes observational and theoretical research, techniques of astronomical instrumentation and data analysis, and astronomical space instrumentation.
- A top-rated Springer Nature journal, with 96% of authors having rated their experience as excellent or good.
- Particularly welcomes papers on high-energy astrophysics, interstellar medium, star formation, planetary astrophysics, galaxies and large scale structures in the Universe.
- Papers in mathematical physics or in general relativity which do not establish clear astrophysical applications will not be considered.
- Also publishes topically selected special collections in research fields of particular scientific interest. Conference proceedings will not be considered.
- All papers published in the journal are subject to thorough and strict peer-reviewing.

Topical Collection: Mass and Angular Momentum Transport of Rapidly Rotating Hot Stars
A collection of papers focused on the dynamics and diagnostics of rapid rotation, mass transfer, and angular momentum transport near the surfaces of hot stars, to provide focus for recent results and identify the new observations needed to make further advances in this still relatively poorly understood facet of massive star evolution.

Topical Collection: On the modeling and exploitation of the co-orbital dynamics
The co-orbital motion plays a key role in the understanding of the three-body problem, to model the motion of natural bodies (asteroids, moons and planets) and eventually observe them, and to design spacecraft trajectories for exploration missions.
