Journal of High Energy Astrophysics

Journal of High Energy Astrophysics is a peer-reviewed astronomy journal published by Elsevier since 2014, describing itself as the first astrophysical journal to focus on the most energetic phenomena, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 6.1《高能天体物理学杂志》（Journal of High Energy Astrophysics）是（Elsevier）出版的同行评审天文学期刊，2014 年创刊，自称是第一份专注于最高能现象的天体物理期刊，2025 年影响因子为 6.1。

Scope

• The journal seeks scientifically sound papers, particularly those crossing strict specialization fields and attracting wide interest该刊寻求科学严谨的论文，尤其是跨越严格专业分工、能引起广泛关注的稿件。
• It welcomes manuscripts on theoretical models, simulations and observations of energetic astrophysical objects both in our Galaxy and beyond该刊征集关于银河系内及银河系外高能天体的理论模型、模拟与观测的稿件。
• Such objects include black holes at all scales, neutron stars, pulsars and their nebulae, magnetars, fast radio bursts, binaries, and novae and supernovae with their remnants, as well as active galaxies此类天体包括各种尺度的黑洞、中子星、脉冲星及其星云、磁星、快速射电暴、双星、新星与超新星及其遗迹以及活动星系。
• Research across the whole electromagnetic spectrum is considered, together with research using various messengers such as gravitational waves and neutrinos该刊考虑整个电磁波谱范围的研究，以及利用引力波与中微子等各种信使的研究。
• Effects of high-energy phenomena on cosmology and star formation, results from dedicated surveys expanding knowledge of extreme environments, and astrophysical implications of dark matter are also welcomed topics高能现象对宇宙学与恒星形成的影响、拓展极端环境认识的专用巡天结果以及暗物质的天体物理意义也在欢迎之列。
• Purely theoretical papers without applications to high-energy astronomical objects are excluded, including work on modified gravity, black hole physics and unified theories without astrophysical applications不涉及高能天体应用的纯理论论文不在收录范围，包括没有天体物理应用的修正引力、黑洞物理与统一理论研究。
• The journal also publishes special issues, invited reviews and white papers, and accepts Letters with no length limit handled under an accelerated refereeing process of typically two weeks该刊还出版专刊、特邀综述与白皮书，并接收篇幅不限的快报，快报采用通常约两周的加速评审流程。
