Astrophysics
- American Astronomical Society (AAS)
The AAS was established in 1899 and based in Washington, DC. Our membership of about 7,700 individuals also includes physicists, mathematicians, geologists, engineers, and others whose research and educational interests lie within the broad spectrum of subjects now comprising the astronomical sciences. - American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) Department of Astrophysics
The AMNH Department of Astrophysics conducts astrophysical research and provides scientific support for outreach activities and exhibits in the museum. - Ask an Astrophysicist
The "Ask an Astrophysicist" service of the Imagine the Universe! web site is staffed by a small group of volunteers who work on space-based astronomical observations, including cosmic-ray, gamma-ray, and X-ray astrophysics. The site contains an extensive archive of previously answered questions. - International Astronomical Union (IAU): Home
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) was founded in 1919. Its mission is to promote and safeguard the science of astronomy in all its aspects, including research, communication, education and development, through international cooperation. Its individual Members — structured into Divisions, Commissions, and Working Groups — are professional astronomers from all over the world, at the Ph.D. level and beyond, who are active in professional research, education and outreach in astronomy. - NASA High Energy Astrophysics Observatories (HEAO)
NASA's High Energy Astrophysics Observatories describes all current and past high energy astronomy observatories or "missions" which include overviews, technical information on instrumentation, bibliographies and galleries of images. - Space Telescope Science (STSscI) Institute
Established in 1981, the STSscI helped guide the most famous observatory in history, the Hubble Space Telescope. Since its launch in 1990, STSscI has performed the science operations for Hubble. Currently, STSscI is leading the science and mission operations for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), planned to launch in 2021. STSscI staff conducts world-class scientific research, and its Barbara A. Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) curates and disseminates data from over 20 astronomical missions. - WorldWideScience.org.
A global science gateway connecting you to national and international scientific databases and portals. WorldWideScience.org accelerates scientific discovery and progress by providing one-stop searching of global science sources. Maintained by the Office of Scientific & Technical Information, which makes R&D findings available and useful to advance discovery
