PLANETARY AND SPACE SCIENCE
Planetary and Space Science
Editor-in-Chief:
R. Schulz
See editorial board for all editors information

Description
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
