D.3 Review Articles, Current Literature,
and Journals
Besides textbooks and monographs, review articles on
specific topics are particularly useful for getting extended
information about a special field. A number of
journals and series exist in which excellent review articles
are published. Among these are Annual Reviews
of Astronomy and Astrophysics (ARA&A) and Astronomy
& Astrophysics Reviews (A&AR), both publishing
astronomical articles only. In Physics Reports (Phys.
Rep.) and Reviews of Modern Physics (RMP), astronomical
review articles are also frequently found. Such
articles are also published in the lecture notes of international
summer/winter schools and in the proceedings of
conferences; of particular note are the Lecture Notes of
the Saas-Fee Advanced Courses. A very useful archive
containing review articles on the topics covered in this
book is the Knowledgebase for Extragalactic Astronomy
and Cosmology, which can be found at
http://nedwww.ipac.caltech.edu/level5.
Original astronomical research articles are published in
the relevant scientific journals; most of the figures presented
in this book are taken from these journals. The
most important of them are Astronomy & Astrophysics
(A&A), The Astronomical Journal (AJ), The Astrophysical
Journal (ApJ), Monthly Notices of the Royal
Astronomical Society (MNRAS), and Publications of
the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (PASP). Besides
these, a number of smaller, regional, or more specialized
journals exist, such as Astronomische Nachrichten
(AN), Acta Astronomica (AcA), or Publications of the
Astronomical Society of Japan (PASJ). Some astronomical
articles are also published in the journals Nature
and Science. The Physical Review D and Physical Review
Letters contain an increasing number of papers on
astrophysical cosmology.
