Topic: Astrophysics

	Astrophysics and Astronomy - Scientia Astrophysical Organization
		Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that deals with the physical properties of stars, galaxies, and other astronomical objects.
		Astrophysical research is important for physics at atomic and subatomic scales.
		The current high status of astrophysics is reflected in the naming of institutions involved in astronomical research: the oldest ones are "astronomy" departments or institutes, the newest ones include "astrophysics" in their names, often excluding the word "astronomy".

	Astrophysics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that deals with the physics of the universe, including the physical properties (luminosity, density, temperature and chemical composition) of celestial objects such as stars, galaxies, and the interstellar medium, as well as their interactions.
		Theoretical astrophysics is the discipline that seeks to explain the phenomena observed by astronomers in physical terms with a theoretic approach.
		Astrophysical relativity serves as a tool to gauge the properties of large scale structures for which gravitation plays a significant role in physical phenomena investigated and serves as the basis for fl hole (astro)physics and the study of gravitational waves.

	Astrophysics
		Astrophysics: Commencing with the advent of photography and the study of stellar spectra in the second half of the nineteenth century, astrophysics no includes optical and radio observations of stars, clusters, interstellar material, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies, and their interpretations.
		Study of the motions of stars in pairs, groups, clusters, associations, and galaxies, is the overlap of celestial mechanics with astrophysics, and the study of the distribution and pattern of motion of the distant galaxies is the overlap with cosmology.
		Astrophysics used to be called the "new astronomy"; it represents merely a natural development of knowledge about the celestial bodies, resulting from the application of the new methods of observation, employing the spectroscope, the photoelectric cell, the thermocouple, the photographic plate, etc, and stimulated by modern advances in atomic physics.

		Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that deals with the physics of the universe, including the physical properties (luminosity, density, temperature, chemical composition) of astronomical objects such as stars, galaxies, and the interstellar medium, as well as their interactions.
		The study of physical cosmology is theoretical astrophysics at its largest scale; conversely, since the energies involved in cosmology, especially the Big Bang, are the largest known, the observations of the cosmos also serve as the laboratory for physics at its smallest scales as well.
		The main article for this category is Astrophysics.
