Planetary and Space Science publishes original articles as well as short communications (letters). Ground-based and space-borne
instrumentation and laboratory simulation of solar system processes are included. The following fields of planetary and solar system
research are covered:
• celestial mechanics, including dynamical evolution of the solar system, gravitational captures and
resonances, relativistic effects, tracking and dynamics
• cosmochemistry and origin, including all aspects of the formation
and initial physical and chemical evolution of the solar system
• terrestrial planets and satellites, including the physics
of the interiors, geology and morphology of the surfaces, tectonics, mineralogy and dating
• outer planets and satellites,
including formation and evolution, remote sensing at all wavelengths and in situ measurements
• planetary atmospheres, including
formation and evolution, circulation and meteorology, boundary layers, remote sensing and laboratory simulation
• planetary
magnetospheres and ionospheres, including origin of magnetic fields, magnetospheric plasma and radiation belts, and their interaction
with the sun, the solar wind and satellites
• small bodies, dust and rings, including asteroids, comets and zodiacal light
and their interaction with the solar radiation and the solar wind
• exobiology, including origin of life, detection of planetary
ecosystems and pre-biological phenomena in the solar system and laboratory simulations
• extrasolar systems, including the
detection and/or the detectability of exoplanets and planetary systems, their formation and evolution, the physical and chemical properties
of the exoplanets
• history of planetary and space research
