NASA funded project whose main resource is three sets of abstracts: 1) astronomy and astrophysics, containing 240,000 abstracts; 2) instrumentation, containing 460,000 abstracts; and 3) physics and geophysics, containing 220,000 abstracts.
 
Links to astronomy and astrophysics resources on the Internet. Headings include observing resources, organisations, research areas, and astronomical imagery.
 
A searchable collection of resources in the field of astrobiology including cosmochemistry, chemical evolution, the origin and evolution of life, planetary biology and chemistry, formation of stars and planets (space science), and expansion of terrestrial life into space.
 
Papers covering high
energy physics, astrophysics, general relativity, quantum cosmology, nuclear theory, computational and lattice physics.
 
Astrophysics preprints dating back to 1992, with details of new papers received and the current month's listings.
 
PPARC supports UK research into the fundamental nature of the Universe, theoretical and experimental research into elementary particles and the fundamental forces of nature, planetary and solar research including space physics and astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology.
 
Links to resources about astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, and exobiology.
 
Meta index for information sources about astrophysics, including news, research, projects and societies.
 
Journal covering all aspects if modern physics, including astronomy and astrophysics, condensed matter physics, high energy, particles and fields physics, mathematical physics, nuclear physics, plasma physics and quantum optics.
 
An introduction to helioseismology, which is the study of wave oscillations in the Sun and of the physical processes involved, in the same way that seismologists learn about the Earth's interior by monitoring waves caused by earthquakes. Temperature, composition, and motions deep in the Sun influence the oscillation periods and yield insights into conditions in the solar interior.
 
A set of interactive physics tools and games designed to integrate research and education, and to promote understanding of mechanics, astrophysics, thermodynamics, energy, and environment.
 
National centre which plays a leading role in the investigation of the central scientific problem of dark matter while developing a new model of scientific research more attuned to the multi
disciplinary nature of the environment.
 
Offers a collection of links to astronomy and astrophysics resources on the Internet. Categories available include survey projects, information systems, preprint and bibliographical services, conferences and meetings, departments, space agencies, and specific research areas such as radio, optical, and solar astronomy.
 
An organisation of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Provides research information and results, details of collaboration with institutes worldwide, and project outlines.
 
Explanations of astrophysics terms, some illustrated with animated images.
 
The IAP is a laboratory of the National Science Research Centre in France (CNRS). Research at IAP embraces a wide range of topics from particle physics to cosmology. Recent prepublications of IAP researchers are available online. Information is in English and French.
 
Explanation of the evidence for dark matter as inferred indirectly from the motions of astronomical objects.
 
Paper discussing dark matter on galactic, cluster and large scales, and the interpretation of big bang nucleosynthesis for dark matter. Available in various formats including PDF.
 
An international project to study the interior structure and dynamics of the Sun. The SOI program was responsible for design and operation of the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) instrument on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft launched on 2 December 1995. As well as news and press releases about the project for the general public, there is a helioseismology bibliography and information about participation in the project and access to data for scientists and students.
