Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Astronomy and astrophysics have a longstanding tradition in the Netherlands. Today, a very broad range of topics in modern astronomy are studied, ranging from the evolution of the large-scale structure of the universe down to molecular processes occurring on the surface of grains of ices in the interstellar medium. Researchers in the Netherlands are also at the forefront of the new era of gravitational wave astronomy with their active involvement in LIGO, and the new generation of gravitational-wave observatories such as LISA and the Einstein Telescope. This Special Issue aims to highlight this diversity in research that has led to major contributions in many astronomy fields.
