Astronomy & Geophysics, also known as A&G, is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society by Oxford University Press. It was established in 1997 as a replacement for The Quarterly Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society. As of November 2016[update], it is edited by Sue Bowler (University of Leeds).
The journal covers astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, planetary science, solar-terrestrial physics, global and regional geophysics, and the history of these subjects.
