S.R. Pottasch. EDP Sciences. 2012.〕 These journals, with their ISSN and date of first publication are as follows:〔 * ''Annales d'Astrophysique'' (France), established in 1938 * ''Arkiv för Astronomi'' (Sweden), established in 1948 * ''Bulletin of the Astronomical Institutes of the Netherlands'' (Netherlands), established in 1921 * ''Bulletin Astronomique'' (France), established in 1884 * ''Journal des Observateurs'' (France), established in 1915 * ''Zeitschrift für Astrophysik'' (Germany), established in 1930 The publishing of ''Astronomy and Astrophysics'' was further extended in 1992 by the incorporation of ''Bulletin of the Astronomical Institutes of Czechoslovakia'', established in 1947. ''Astronomy and Astrophysics'' initially published articles in either English, French, or German, but articles in French and German were always few. They were eventually discontinued, in part due to difficulties in finding adequately specialized independent referees who were also fluent in those languages. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Astronomy and Astrophysics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
