Astrophysics Articles Open Access

Astrophysics is the scientific study of the universe. It builds on astronomy by applying physics and chemistry to the study of planets, the sun, solar systems and other elements and phenomena of exterior space. Theoretical astrophysics seeks to explain the origin of the universe also as substances, black holes, the existence of the multiverse and more. Astrophysics is comparatively small but increasing, typically fifteen to twenty Astrophysics majors annually. Astronomy and astrophysics are the study of objects and phenomena that are found beyond our system. This combines theoretical simulations and observation with both terrestrial and space-craft-borne instruments of the electromagnetic radiation and high-energy particles emitted by celestial bodies. Astrophysics is that the physics of stars and other distant bodies within the universe, but it also hits on the brink of home. According to the large Bang Theory, the primary stars were almost entirely hydrogen. The nuclear fusion process that energizes them smashes together hydrogen atoms to form the heavier element helium. In 1957, the husband-and-wife astronomer team of Geoffrey and Margaret Burbidge, along side physicists William Alfred Fowler and Hoyle, showed how, as stars age, they produce heavier and heavier elements, which they expire to later generations of stars in ever-greater quantities.
