    Resources > Astrophysics

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.
Introduction
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.
Introduction
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.
Introduction
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.
Introduction
Papers covering high-energy physics, astrophysics, general relativity, quantum cosmology, nuclear theory, computational and lattice physics.
Introduction
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.
Introduction
Links to astronomy and astrophysics resources on the Internet. Headings include observing resources, organisations, research areas, and astronomical imagery.
Introduction
Astrophysics preprints dating back to 1992, with details of new papers received and the current month's listings.
Introduction
Links to resources about astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, and exobiology.
Introduction
Includes information on supernovas, X-ray binaries, black holes, and the research programme.
Introduction
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.
Introduction
Explanations of astrophysics terms, some illustrated with animated images.
Introduction
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.
Introduction
Explanation of the evidence for dark matter as inferred indirectly from the motions of astronomical objects.
Introduction
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.
Introduction
An organisation of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Provides research information and results, details of collaboration with institutes worldwide, and project outlines.
Introduction
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.
Introduction
Meta index for information sources about astrophysics, including news, research, projects and societies.
Introduction
