In the distant past, astronomy was often intertwined with religion into a unified cosmos. As science became a distinct cultural enterprise, astronomy has witnessed a variety of rich interactions with other fields. Mathematical statistics was stimulated in the 19th century by astronomical problems, and today astrostatistics is a small but growing cross-disciplinary field advancing methodology to address challenges in astronomical data analysis. Throughout the 20th century, astronomy became closely allied with physics such that astronomy and astrophysics are now profoundly intertwined. Physical chemistry played a major role in the identification of molecules in the Milky Way Galaxy, and astrochemistry is now an active subfield giving insights into cosmic molecular processes. The importance of cross-disciplinary interactions with engineering (for instrumentation), Earth sciences (for planetary studies), computer science (for astroinformatics) and life sciences (for astrobiology) is also growing. Cross-disciplinary research has been essential both for crucial discoveries in astronomy and for improving the quality of astronomical research. It should be fostered with increased flexibility in the training of young astronomers and with sufficient funding to nurture these fields.
Evaluation of research publications and publication channels in astronomy and astrophysics
天文学界通常求助于天体物理学数据系统进行文献计量学。当上下文是跨学科的，商业产品，如Web of Science和Scopus与相关的分析工具一起使用。结果往往受到所选分类系统固有问题的影响。最常见的挑战和陷阱的审查。在不久的将来，可将商业替代指标产品添加到评估工具箱中，尽管它们最适合于推广而不是评估。挪威、丹麦和芬兰已经创建了用于国家资助模式的期刊和出版商排名系统。天文学期刊在这些系统中的权重差异可能与国家一级发表的论文数量有关。
Active optics in astronomy - Freeform mirror for the MESSIER telescope proposal
天文学中的主动光学技术提供高成像质量。本文致力于高度可变形的主动光学，可以产生非轴对称的非球面或自由曲面，通过使用最少数量的致动器。该非球面镜是在球面抛光过程中，由作用在封闭形式的基底表面上的单一均匀载荷获得的，同时在轴向反作用下作用于其椭圆周边环。MESSIER空间计划是一个宽视场低中心遮挡折叠双反射镜天文望远镜，或简称为三反射镜天文望远镜（TMA）。光学设计是一个折叠反射施密特。望远镜的基本特征是36厘米孔径，f/2.5，1.6 o 2.6 o视场和弯曲场探测器，允许漂移扫描观测零畸变像差。自由曲面镜是由球面应力抛光产生的，在弹性松弛后提供超抛光的自由曲面。初步的分析需要使用三阶像差的光学理论和薄椭圆板的弹性理论。最后的交叉优化进行了Zemax射线跟踪代码和Nastran有限元弹性代码，以确定完整的几何形状的玻璃陶瓷Zerodur可变形基板。
