Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is a pleasure to announce the Special Issue "Recent Progress in Relativistic Astrophysics". Black holes and neutron stars are the most extreme objects that can be found in the Universe and an ideal laboratory for testing fundamental physics. Thanks to new observations facilities, in the past 20 years there has been tremendous progress in the understanding of these objects and of their astrophysical environment. Recent detections of gravitational waves have opened a new and complementary window to the study of compact objects. While some questions have been addressed, others are still open, and new questions have arisen. The aim of this Special Issue is to review recent progress in the field of relativistic astrophysics and to point out future directions. All submissions will be peer reviewed before being accepted for publication.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
