The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System Abstract Service provides a gateway to the online Astronomy and Physics literature. You can navigate this content using the following query interfaces:
- The new ADS, featuring a clean new look, advanced search and filtering options as well as visualizations.
- Astronomy and Astrophysics Classic Search, an legacy interface which searches the 2,850,478 records currently in the Astronomy database, including 247,291 abstracts from Planetary Sciences and Solar Physics journals
- Physics and Geophysics Classic Search, an legacy interface which searches the 13,206,866 records currently in the Physics database, including 765,297 abstracts from APS journals and 575,743 abstracts from SPIE conference proceedings
- arXiv Preprints Classic Search, an legacy interface which searches the 2,686,715 records consisting of all the papers published in the arXiv e-print archive
- Science Education Classic Search, a legacy interface to the literature in Science Education Research and related publications (a selected subset of publications from the above databases)
The arXiv e-print database contains preprints submitted to the arXiv e-print archive. ADS maintains this database to allow searches on the latest literature being published, with links to the fulltext available from the arXiv.
We also provide access to scanned images of articles from most of the major and most smaller astronomical journals, as well as several conference proceedings series. All scanned articles are linked to the corresponding references in the ADS. They can be accessed through the search system linked to on this page or through ADS browse interface.
As an additional service to the astronomical community, ADS has also been maintaining a database of people involved in astronomy research. If you need to locate somebody in the community, you can use the astroperson search form.
