High energy astrophysics has made good use of combined high energy (X-ray, gamma-ray) and radio observations to uncover connections between outbursts, accretion, particle acceleration and kinetic feedback to the local ambient medium. In the field of microquasars the connections have been particularly important. However, radio astronomy has been relying on essentially the same facilities for the past ~25 years, whereas high-energy astrophysics, in particular space-based research, has had a series of newer and more powerful missions. In the next fifteen years this imbalance is set to be redressed, with a whole familiy of new radio facilities under development en route to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) in the 2020s. In this brief review I will summarize these future prospects for radio astronomy, and focus on possibly the most exciting of the new facilities to be built in the next decade, the Low Frequency Array LOFAR, and its uses in high energy astrophysics.
E-prints and Journal Articles in Astronomy: a Productive Co-existence
是否使用arXiv存储库中的电子预印本（电子预印本）而不是期刊文章？在本文中，我们表明，电子印刷品并没有破坏天体物理学界期刊论文的使用。一旦期刊文章发表，天文学界更喜欢阅读期刊文章，通过NASA天体物理数据系统使用电子印刷品的数量下降到零。这表明，大多数天文学家都可以订阅机构订阅，并且在有选择的情况下，他们会选择阅读期刊文章。在NASA天体物理学数据系统中，他们可以选择，因为电子印刷品和期刊文章被平等对待，因为两者都只需点击一下。换句话说，电子印刷品并没有破坏天体物理学界对期刊的使用，因此目前不会对出版商构成财务威胁。我们提供了arXiv类别“astro-ph”和天文学4种核心期刊（Astrophysical Journal，Astronomical Journal，Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society和Astronomy & Astrophysics）的读者数据。此外，我们还发现，电子印刷品的半衰期（一篇文章的使用率下降到新发表文章的一半）比期刊论文短。ADS由NASA Grant NNG 06 GG 68 G资助。arXiv获得NSF资助#0404553
