The SEGUE Virtual Journal
Understanding the origin of the elements, the astrophysical sites of their production, and providing constraints on the nuclear physics processes involved in their creation, are several of the fundamental goals of JINA. In order to further these ambitious undertakings, JINA has become an institutional partner in the extension of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, SDSS-II. SEGUE is one of three observing programs that collectively make up SDSS-II.
In accompaniment with this work, the editors of this virtual journal want to provide an up-to-date access to articles of interest to our community. The articles are chosen from the list of publications below, which in our experience publish relevant articles, at least occasionally. We have attempted to include mainly articles of interest to those interested in the implications of nuclear phenomena for astrophysical processes. There is an obvious gray area at intersections with other fields, for example, with particle astrophysics, and with cosmology. The editors do not claim to be entirely consistent in their choices, but will try to err on the side of inclusiveness.
A paper describing the development and management of the JINA Virtual Journal is now published in D-Lib Magazine.
