The Astrophysical Journal, often abbreviated to ApJ, is a scientific journal covering astronomy and astrophysics. It was founded in 1895 by George Ellery Hale and James E. Keeler. It currently (October 2006) publishes three issues per month, with 500 pages per issue. Since 1953, The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series has been published in conjunction with The Astrophysical Journal. It aims to supplement the material in the Journal. It currently (October 2006) publishes six volumes per year, with 2 issues per volume and 280 pages per issue.[1] The journal and the supplement series are both currently published by the University of Chicago Press for the American Astronomical Society. From January 2009, publication will be tranferred to Institute of Physics Publishing.[2] This will follow the move of the society's astronomical Journal in 2008. The reason for the changes were given by the Society as the increasing financial demands of the Press. [3]
