天文學通報，由舒馬赫于1821年創立，是目前世界上最古老的天文學雜志。著名的天文發現和發表在300多卷雜志上的有關天文學和天體物理學的重要論文突出地反映了過去180年天文學研究的進展。今天，天文學筆記/天文學通報出版了觀測和理論天體物理學方面的文章，以及太陽系和太陽物理學方面的相關主題。此外，還包括了有關地面和天基天文儀器的論文，以及有關數值天體物理技術和超級計算機建模的論文。論文可以通過電子版的短視頻序列完成。天文學筆記/天文學通報也出版了會議記錄的特別問題。

Astronomische Nachrichten, founded in 1821 by H. C. Schumacher, is the oldest astronomical journal worldwide still being published. Famous astronomical discoveries and important papers on astronomy and astrophysics published in more than 300 volumes of the journal give an outstanding representation of the progress of astronomical research over the last 180 years. Today, Astronomical Notes/ Astronomische Nachrichten publishes articles in the field of observational and theoretical astrophysics and related topics in solar-system and solar physics. Additional, papers on astronomical instrumentation ground-based and space-based as well as papers about numerical astrophysical techniques and supercomputer modelling are covered. Papers can be completed by short video sequences in the electronic version. Astronomical Notes/ Astronomische Nachrichten also publishes special issues of meeting proceedings.
